Another 200 people were evicted from the town “Lo Arado” where at least 40 homes were affected by the rains, the authorities of Jalisco pointed out in a statement. The Manzanillo-Cihuatlán road was completely closed at the height of the Naranjos community in Colima, due to the overflow of a stream due to the rains generated by tropical storm Hernán.
The rains caused rocks and mud to collapse on at least two roads, one of which was obstructed by a undercavon that forced the partial closure of the route, the authorities explained. In the state of Colima, bordering Jalisco, the rains caused the Santiago River to overflow, forcing the authorities to evict dozens of people from various communities in Manzanillo, the local Civil Protection office reported.
