Av. La Marina was closed when water rose over the walls of the pluvial canal onto the street.
Tropical storm Élida brought much needed rain to the municipality yesterday when over 80 millimeters of a combination of heavy and light rain accompanied by thunderstorms blew through the city early yesterday morning and again at noon.
The downpour cooled temperatures in the port, a relief from two months of daily 35ºC heat, and refreshed sunburned green areas.
The welcome rain, however, also caused heavy flooding forcing civil protection to close Av. La Marina in Fraccionamieto El Toreo where water rose over the walls of the pluvial canal onto the street. Heavily travelled intersections at Av. Rafael Buelna and Av. La Marina, Av. Camarón Sábalo at Cruz Lizarraga and Av. Reforma between Insurgentes and Leonismo Internacional in Fraccionamiento Flamigos were also closed to traffic due to severe flooding.
The heavy rain brought cool relief and smiles to some.
Students from primary schools “Chamizal” in Colonia Reforma and “Ricardo Flores Magnon” were sent home when classrooms were inundated with rising water.
High waves and choppy seas prompted Port Captain Gustavo Gómez Rangel to cancel tours by catamarans and sightseeing boats and recommended panga fishermen stay home to prevent incidents.
According to the National Meteorological Service, Sinaloa could see between 75 and 150 millimeters of rain before Tropical Storm Élida dissipates tomorrow.
