Among the effects, damage to the infrastructure of a school that was built on the banks of the El Remate river, in the community of the same name, is also reported. The residents captured the moment when the level of the river reached the foundations of the construction, causing one of the walls of the classrooms of the educational center to crack.
In this municipality, the flooding of the Nancimi and Sánchez rivers, which come together in the Villa Eddy Monterrey community, also caused the collapse of a pedestrian bridge that had been inaugurated eight months ago. The pendant facilitated communication between the Pedro Espinoza neighborhood and the Eddy Monterrey villa.
