Querétaro Storm Leaves Multiple Floods
The storm was registered during the afternoon of Tuesday and, according to local media, mainly affected the southern and central areas of the capital city of Querétaro, as well as parts of the municipalities of Corregidora and El Marqués.
Despite the intensity of the rains, only flooding occurred at sidewalk level or above in the western part of the city.
However, the greatest impacts were seen in the conurbated area of the Corregidor municipality, where several avenues, including the Tlacote highway, ended up flooded.
According to Diario Querétaro, the main affected areas included colonies and neighborhoods such as Puerta Real, El Pueblito, Paseo del Jacal, Santuarios del Pueblito, and the Zapata Sports Unit.
Additionally, there were floodings with impacts in the La Joya neighborhood near Querétaro, as well as in the Santa María Magdalena community.
In response to this situation, State and Municipal Civil Protection Coordination made an appeal to citizens to stay informed about updates and follow the instructions of authorities to ensure their safety.
