Mexico - August 11, 2025 A video recorded by Carlos Coronas captures severe flooding on Calzada Ignacio Zaragoza, where water gushes forcefully out of a manhole, flooding the street and reflecting the lights of a nearby Walmart store. The scene reveals a clear failure in the drainage system, as the manhole overflows while surrounding water levels submerge sections of the roadway. This incident is part of a larger emergency across Mexico City, with heavy rains triggering the highest alert levels in several boroughs. Authorities have warned of risks including inundations and electrical outages. The flooding also underscores ongoing infrastructure challenges, made worse by recent intense storms and previous disasters, such as the major flooding in early June 2025 that caused citywide disruptions. Carlos Coronas said in Spanish: “Calzada Ignacio Zaragoza, east to west direction. Colonia Agricola Pantitlán. Flooding.”
