The Embassy of Mexico informs that
several Mexican states face an emergency situation as a result of tropical storm
Manuel and hurricane Ingrid.
These two powerful storms made landfall in Mexico
on September 15 and 16, causing destructive flooding that has claimed more than
100 lives (including many children) and destroyed property. More specifically,
in the Pacific Basin , Tropical Storm Manuel made landfall on September 15 near
Manzanillo , Mexico . In the Atlantic Basin , Ingrid struck near the town of La
Pesca on September 16. This rare convergence of two tropical storms within such
close proximity and time of each other has affected nearly two-thirds of the
country, according to Mexico ’s Interior Minister Miguel Osorio Chong.
The
storms have mainly affected the states of Veracruz , Guerrero , Puebla , Hidalgo
, Michoacan and Oaxaca . In the state of Veracruz , damage to bridges and
highways, as well as nearly 1,000 homes, has been reported.
The Mexican Red Cross has opened the
