Mexico City: Mexico is reeling under the impact of torrential rains that have unleashed widespread devastation across several states, claiming at least 28 lives and leaving a trail of destruction. The relentless downpour over the past few days has triggered flash floods, landslides, and building collapses, plunging many regions into darkness due to massive power outages.
The state of Hidalgo has borne the brunt of the catastrophe, with 16 confirmed deaths and extensive property damage. State Interior Secretary Guillermo Olivares Reyna reported that continuous rainfall caused hillsides to give way, sending mud and debris cascading into residential areas. Rivers swollen beyond capacity inundated hundreds of homes and fields, displacing scores of families and disrupting daily life. Prelimi
