Mexico Floods: Floods caused by continuous heavy rainfall from October 6th to 9th in Mexico have caused massive devastation. Streets in Poza Rica and other cities were flooded with water up to 12 feet deep. The flooding has caused widespread panic in several cities. At least 41 people have died so far, with many more missing.

In Poza Rica, the Cajon River overflowed and flooded the city. The strong current swept away several vehicles and destroyed several buildings. The water level receded on Saturday, but the devastation remains. Several cars are hanging from trees, and the carcass of a horse was found inside a pickup truck.
