And the worst is yet to come because the water is still rising, and a representative from the Comision Nacional del Agua said it might take one month for the water to go back to normal levels. That´s a long time to live on your rooftop or in a shelter. Next try to imagine all the mosquitos and “chaquistes” that will result later.
