Lluvias en Veracruz provocan deslaves en la sierra de Zongolica

As predicted, the rains have caused significant damage in some municipalities of the state of Veracruz, one of the most important being in the municipalities of the Sierra Zongolica.

There were two incidents, one of them occurred in the municipality of Tlaquilpa, they indicated that the earth slid on a communication route that is widely used by the population of the area because it allows the transfer of those who go from Tehuipango to Orizaba.

The second landslide confirmed by the citizens occurred on the Zongolica-Orizaba highway, in Tequila, although it is still possible to pass, it is best to do so with caution or if possible avoid it until the authorities attend to it in a timely manner.

Civil Protection personnel urged citizens in Tonalixco or Magdalena not to pass and take a safer route in order to avoid any tragedy to regret in the process.

The maximum temperature decreases slightly throughout the state, with the probability of rain and storms; the maximums, in mountains and some locally strong. Fog, occasional mist.

Due to the presence of tropical storm John, currently over the state of Guerrero, as well as the movement of Potential Tropical Cyclone Nine in the northwest of the Caribbean with movement towards the Yucatan Channel and the Gulf of Mexico, it is expected that in the following days the potential for rain and storms will increase in the state, with the maximums in mountains and basins in the south.
