Strong Winds Cause Havoc in Mexico City

Strong winds wreaked havoc in Mexico City, causing 66 trees to fall across various parts of the capital. The fallen trees damaged numerous vehicles, homes, and workplaces, and left 5 people injured. Some roads were blocked and power lines were damaged as well. Despite the majority of the fallen trees being in Alvaro Obregon, situated in the western part of the city, an 18-meter tree also fell on a motorcycle within the city. In response to the incident, civil defense teams and firefighters were deployed to remove fallen trees and assist victims. According to Mexico’s National Meteorological Service (SMN), the strong winds were a result of the convergence of humid air in the region and a cold air front from the north.
