Overview
- Strong winds and rain since Sunday knocked down utility poles and sent metal sheets into power lines, triggering widespread outages.
- Municipal services logged 22 public-lighting reports from Aug. 24–26 with 14 fallen poles; nine were repaired, three remain in process, and two were referred to CFE.
- Multiple colonias still lack electricity, including Casa Digna, Fraccionamiento Jazmines, Ampliación Centinela, San José, Aurora, Mayos, Prohogar, Vicente Guerrero, Carvajal, and Ejido Michoacán de Ocampo.
- Neighbors blocked the Mexicali–Tijuana highway near the Progreso industrial park toward Ahumadita to press for faster restoration.
