translated from Spanish: Rains leave huge puddles and fallen branches in Los Mochis

Los Mochis, Sinaloa.- Charred streets, fallen tree branches as well as fallen telephony cables have left the recent rains in the city of Los Mochis. Rains have been presented in recent weeks, mainly on weekends, which makes soil moisten and causes larger lagoons in the city.
According to the National Water Commission (Conagua) in Los Mochis yesterday, approximately 15 millimetres of rain per square meter were held yesterday. 

Affectation
Various roads of Los Mochis became a river; is the case of Adolfo López Mateos, Centenario, Rosendo G. Castro, and Santos Degollado, Independencia and Obregón streets. The public noted that these walks significantly affect the passage through the center and the colonies, since in some cases you cannot walk the streets because of how flooded they are.” We know that it rains and that’s why the streets are swirling, but why doesn’t the municipality take a strategy so that the streets can be desazoled instantly and not three hours after it rains? They must do something about it because apparently the storms, which according to the city, do not exist since the water reaches us to our knees,” said Alfonso Javier García López.

Citizens also criticized the municipality for the lack of cleanliness of sewers in the city centre, as many are covered by cartons, branches, bottles and among other things that impede the flow of rainwater.” Public Utilities need to get down to business and start cleaning up those sewers that are covered,” said Cecilia Quevedo. Prognosis
According to the National Weather Service (SMN) for today, heavy rains will be maintained to very heavy in the north of the state due to a low pressure channel and a height divergence found in the north of the country. It also reported that by Thursday, September 12, a new tropical cyclone would be forming that would bring new rains to most of the country.
