The population is at risk of electrocution in a flooded park in Mérida, 48 hours after the days of rain that fell on Sunday, June 23, and Monday, June 24, and flooded a large part of the capital of Yucatán.
The Fraccionamiento del Parque park, also known as Parque Recreativo de Oriente, must be closed. It is a danger to people because it is still flooded and there are cables and a transformer underwater, warns Juan Vázquez Montalvo, a meteorologist at the Autonomous University from Yucatpan.
“There are cables and a transformer underwater in the park play area,” he says. This park is a danger 48 hours after the two days of rain, he highlights.
“And the authorities? Fine, thanks. “At the first electrocuted person, they will run (to attend to the problem), like in the Azcorra (colony),” says Vázquez Montalvo, referring to the 13-year-old minor who died electrocuted while touching a goal while playing in the park of this Merida neighborhood. on the night of April 22, 2024.
The park is flooded on its eastern and southern sides, it is strange that no one has seen and disseminated videos of this dangerous situation, he points out.
Likewise, Vázquez Montalvo reports that the La Xtabay park, located next to the roundabout of the same name and in front of the Macroplaza shopping center, also in the east of Mérida, is also flooded.
Two days after the pluvial floods, the residents of eastern Merida are not only in danger of electrocution and are in trouble due to the floods, but they are also facing an infestation of flies, it reports.
“There are many giant mosquitoes, the size of a horsefly,” he highlights. Vázquez Montalvo specifies that the East and Northeast are the most affected areas of the city of Mérida due to the floods caused by the rains of June 23 and 24, 2024.
