Heavy rain turns streets into rivers in San Luis Potosí

Rain began falling at 7:00pm yesterday and subsequent floodwaters were enough to almost cover vehicles and currents were strong enough to carry them away.

About 40 stores were also affected.

Officials said there were no casualties.

There was also heavy rain yesterday in Morelia, Michoacán. Minor flooding and power outages were reported.
