Mud!

It would appear that the rainy season is off to an early start.  Yesterday at 4 PM we had heavy rains.  Although they tapered off, the precipitation continued well into the night.  On Monday night we only had light rain, but heavy storms affected the western side of the metropolitan area.  The Hondo and Remedios Rivers overflowed their banks and flooded roadways, vehicles and numerous homes.  The most affected areas were the western suburb of Naucalpan and the borough of Azcapotzalco.  Water as high as a meter left a muddy mess inside houses.

The headline of one newspaper today screamed "¡LODO! (MUD!) with a photo of the destroyed furnishings inside of a man's house.

Last summer was exceptionally rainy with flooding in many parts of the city.  A repeat this summer would not only be dreadful for the residents of affected areas, but it could cause major headaches for the World Cup games here.
