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.

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