Chihuahua faces severe weather and infrastructure damage from Hurricane Polo remnants
Severe weather, driven by the Mexican monsoon and the remnants of Hurricane Polo, has caused widespread disruption across Chihuahua. The State Civil Protection Coordination (CEPC) has reported 261 weather-related incidents, with 248 concentrated in Ciudad Juárez.
In Ciudad Juárez, heavy rainfall has led to significant infrastructure damage. A major landslide on Ortachiques Street in the Águilas de Zaragoza neighborhood washed away a 125-meter section of the road. Additionally, the Junta Municipal de Agua y Saneamiento (JMAS) is addressing multiple sinkholes, including one in Águilas de Zaragoza measuring 5 meters deep and 8 meters wide. JMAS has recorded 16 sinkholes and 225 reports regarding drainage and sewage issues.
In other regions, such as Ejido Benito Juárez, intense hail caused injuries to two people and damaged vehicles and crops. Authorities have activated temporary shelters in Ciudad Juárez, including the Riveras del Bravo Community Center and the Olivia Espinoza shelter, to assist displaced families.
Meteorologists warn that the influence of Hurricane Polo may continue to bring moisture and heavy rainfall to the state through Tuesday. Residents are urged to follow emergency protocols and remain vigilant for potential flooding and electrical activity.
