"PUEBLA, Mexico (AP) -- Twelve hours of heavy downpours pounded this
colonial city Thursday, causing three rivers to overflow and sparking
floods that damaged at least 500 homes, authorities said.
Torrential rains that fell overnight and most of the day caused the
Manzinilla, San Antonio and Alseseca rivers to overflow in and around
northeast Puebla, the capital of the state by the same name, 65 miles (105
kilometers) from Mexico City. A statement released by the state government
said it was the most rain to hit the city in one day in 100 years.
Flood waters engulfed four neighborhoods, completely destroying houses
belonging to 200 families and damaging at least 300 other homes, said
Agustin Flores, secretary of public works for Puebla state."
