**Headline:** Heavy Flooding and Severe Weather Hit Jalisco, Mexico
In the heart of western Mexico, the state of Jalisco has been hit hard by heavy rains and subsequent flooding, causing widespread damage and disruption. According to emergency services, the situation is expected to continue for several more days as more rain is forecasted for the region.
The torrential downpour has led to the overflowing of a canal, resulting in significant flooding in nearby areas. The local government has urged residents to stay indoors and avoid non-essential travel due to the road closures and traffic disruptions caused by the floodwaters.
Sadly, the flooding has resulted in casualties, with one reported death—a three-month-old infant—and several injuries. Emergency services are working tirelessly to assist those affected, setting up shelters to provide support for the displaced residents.
The rapid accumulation of water has been exacerbated by runoff from elevated zones and inadequate infrastructure in certain neighbourhoods, intensifying the flooding. The storm delivered an abnormal amount of rain in a short period, typically expected over a month.
Infrastructure in the region has also taken a hit, with buildings and roads sustaining damage. Power outages have been reported in some areas, adding to the challenges faced by the affected communities.
Meanwhile, in a separate development, the city of Guadalajara has been experiencing heavy rains as well. The news of these weather incidents comes as the new Cadillac Racing team announces its lineup for 2026, with Sergio "Checo" Pérez set to return as a lead driver.
As the clean-up and response efforts continue, the focus remains on supporting those affected by the floods and ensuring the safety of the residents in the affected areas.
