“The rain we expected has come, but we must be extremely careful to avoid any accidents,” warned Nuevo León state governor Samuel Garcia earlier, announcing that some schools would not be in session on Monday.
Four people died in flash floods triggered by torrential rains that ended a sixteen-month drought in Monterrey, the industrial capital in northeastern Mexico, where authorities had been forced to implement water rationing.
The victims — two women, a man and a child — were lost when a torrent swept away the car they were riding in, the Civil Protection explained in a press release.
“The rain we expected has come, but we must be extremely careful to avoid any accidents,” warned Nuevo León state governor Samuel Garcia earlier, announcing that some schools would not be in session on Monday.
At the height of the drought, which drained two of the three dams that supply Monterey, Mr. Garcia promoted the idea of ”cloud enrichment,” sending silver iodide particles into the sky to speed up liquefaction and induce precipitation.
