Ciudad Juárez faces significant damage from heavy rains and hail
Heavy rainfall and hail in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, have caused widespread damage to homes and vehicles. Residents report significant repair costs, with some homeowners facing expenses of at least 5,000 pesos for water damage and waterproofing. Local mechanics noted that flooded streets have caused mechanical issues in vehicles, specifically damaging suspensions and shock absorbers, with repair costs ranging from 5,700 to 12,000 pesos. In more severe cases involving engine damage, costs can escalate significantly, potentially leading to total losses.
In a notable rescue incident near the Arroyo de las Víboras, a local driver intervened to save a family of 10—including four adults and six minors—after their vehicle was caught in rising floodwaters. The driver successfully extracted all passengers through vehicle windows.
The Chihuahua State Government is working to provide aid to affected families through the State Fund for Natural Disasters. Luis Corral Torresdey, state coordinator of Civil Protection, stated that the government is awaiting a complete list of damaged properties from municipal authorities to begin formal damage assessments and resource allocation. State agencies, including the Municipal Water and Sanitation Board (JMAS) and various secretariats, have deployed personnel and machinery to assist in the affected areas.
