Cats and Dogs

Greetings from "sunny Mexico"!

Shortly after writing yesterday's post about the weather, it began to "llover a cántaros", the Spanish equivalent of "raining cats and dogs".  (It literally means "raining water jugs".)

Here are some photos I took from the "Webcams de México" website of various places in the city during the downpour...


The Paseo de la Reforma near the Monument to Independence



Looking down on Madero Street in the heart of the Historic Center.
Usually on weekends, this pedestrianized street is jammed with people.
The few people who ventured out in the weather mostly have umbrellas.



Looking east from the Latin American Tower.



The nearly empty Zócalo
The camera lens is splattered with raindrops.


A video looking out from the window of my apartment
When it rains heavily, the streets become rivers.
