Overview
- Querétaro authorities confirmed two people were found dead in the Peñuelas area after being swept away by floodwaters, and the state prosecutor’s office opened an investigation.
- Heavy downpours inundated neighborhoods across Querétaro, left vehicles floating and homes waterlogged, and prompted coordinated deployments by police, firefighters, municipal crews and Sedena, with the Army activating the DN-III-E plan, according to officials.
- In El Salto, Jalisco, the municipality reported up to 300 homes affected—concentrated in the Lilas 1 and 2 developments—though separate reporting put the tally at at least 120 houses with 60–80 cm of water.
- El Salto officials attributed the damage in part to a delayed opening of Río Santiago floodgates and, after meeting Conagua’s delegate, secured emergency access to the gates and training for local operators.
- Mexico City saw severe street flooding, including water depths near one meter in Iztapalapa, as the capital’s civil protection agency activated tiered weather alerts and warned of continuing rainfall.
