Overview

• Mexico City activated the purple alert and deployed firefighters, SEGIAGUA crews, police and civil protection teams to drain streets and homes after the overnight downpour.
• Metro Line A is running provisionally only between Pantitlán and Guelatao as pumping continues, with bus support provided for the stretch farther east until full service can be restored.
• Furniture merchants blocked both directions of Calzada Ignacio Zaragoza at the Puente de la Concordia to demand aid after floodwaters damaged their stock, causing significant traffic toward Chalco, Ixtapaluca and La Paz.
• City authorities are surveying damage and pledging emergency assistance and insurance-backed support, with cleanup focused on the most affected neighborhoods in Iztapalapa and Tláhuac.
• The storm’s reach extended beyond the capital, with stalls and vehicles swept away in Xalapa, Veracruz, tianguis losses reported in Melchor Ocampo, Estado de México, and additional flooding documented in San Luis Potosí and Sonora.
