St. Ignatius.- On yesterday, the Sanignacs awoke with the noise of rain that began around 01:00 in the morning, which lasted throughout the day. Upon becoming aware that at the Piaxtla syndicates in Down, the water had begun to enter some homes, Civil Protection personnel as well as State Police officers, they began a tour of this area in which they had to evacuate several families they were at risk because the water exceeded the meter and a half in height, involving paramedics and staff from Red Cross San Ignacio, who transferred people to the hostel of Coyotitán located in the secondary school. To these tasks were added public officials and volunteers also the Mexican army active the DNIII Plan supporting these tasks. Here, hundreds of hectares planted with corn, beans and fodder were left underwater, for which producers reported million-dollar losses.
THE DEBATE
The road infrastructure suffered some damage, as a stretch of the road leading to Barras de Piaxtla collapsed leaving the villagers incommunicado. Another hostel is also active in Estación Dimas and in three homes located in Lomas del Pedregal 70 people were provided shelter. In addition, the estuaries located in the communities of the coastal area resulted in losses from the overflow of them. State PC staff toured the affected sites and noted that for 26 years there was no similar one, as communities that had historically not experienced flood problems such as Los Platanitos and El Polvorín that had to be evacuated at the last minute due to the overflow of the creek and transferred to the coyotitan hostel.
THE DEBATE
The fear that existed until last night, was that the piaxtla riverbed would increase its level, because it was known that in the neighboring municipality of San Dimas Durango the rain had not ceased since 23:00 hours of the day before, which meant that all that water that it is poured into the Piaxtla River will cause an increase and in turn flood in the lower parts of San Ignacio, so that monitoring of it was still maintained, he informed Captain Chavira, representing the 110th infantry battalion. Mayor Ivan Ernesto Báez Martínez was present in these places where he also gave up. mattresses, blankets and pantries to families who were not evacuated. DIF staff attended the shelters by enabling them with what they need, providing food and shelter to people.
