Hey everyone, Mexico's been hit by some serious floods 🌧️. A tropical depression—basically a slow-moving storm packed with water—caused landslides and rivers to overflow along the Gulf Coast and central states like Puebla.
Officials report 64 people have died and 65 are still missing after the rains—striking right at the tail end of the rainy season. Bridges were washed out, streets turned into mud slides, and over 100,000 homes are now damaged or underwater 🏠.
In Huauchinango, residents grabbed shovels and brooms to clear thick mud and debris from their homes and streets. It's kinda like the monsoon cleanups we do back home, but on a whole other level 🔄.
Relief crews are working around the clock, but broken roads and collapsed bridges are slowing things down. Local communities are stepping up—sharing food, water, and roof space to help neighbors get back on their feet.
It's a powerful reminder of how extreme weather—amplified by climate change—can hit anywhere. Stay safe, watch for weather updates on your phone, and check on your loved ones! 📱❤️
