BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) - Torrential rains in Argentina's capital have triggered flooding responsible for at least five deaths.

A record 6.1 inches (155mm) of rain fell in just two hours in Buenos Aires on Tuesday. That's equal to all of the normal rainfall for April.

The storm caused power outages, flooded subway lines and turned the streets into rivers.

Emergency officials are asking people to stay at home after a subway worker died when he was electrocuted after stepping on wet railway lines and after three men and a woman drowned to death.

Service on a subway line has been interrupted, and trains on other lines are delayed. Officials are asking people to avoid driving to prevent accidents.

The Argentine National Metereological Service expects more storms on Tuesday in Buenos Aires and says heavy rains will continue until Friday.
