Heavy rain that was accompanied by wind caused several damages in the city, where the streets and avenues turned into rivers in a matter of a few minutes.

Around 4:00 p.m. the first drops began to fall on the "agricultural capital of the state", but the light rain quickly turned into a downpour that flooded the roads in all sectors of the urban area.

In some parts of the city, the water covered half of the vehicles, while in the south and west, failures in the supply of drinking water to homes were reported.

In this regard, the Municipal Board of Water and Sanitation explained that the rain caused breakdowns in the wells that supply the liquid, for which the technicians of the unit immediately went to carry out the repair work.

"Just be patient so as not to put our lives in danger, just wait for the river flow to drop and declare this area a state of emergency; since the downpours have been continuing for several days, but today (Tuesday) it exceeded expectations. This is a natural phenomenon that has never occurred in Manabao, it has us incommunicado; we are waiting for the flow to drop, to see if we can restore traffic," Abreu said.
