Keith Woolford Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) Heavy rains lately are affecting roadways all over Panama. The roads in and out of Volcan continue to have problems with minor landslides. In Sona the Rio San Pedro has overflowed it's banks causing severe flooding. In Panama City this morning there is flooding on many thoroughfares. This bus stop on Via España became an island. https://twitter.com/EstrellaOnline/status/913789593555783681 Edited September 29, 2017 by Keith Woolford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sewera obstruction caused flooding in various sectors such as Jardin Olympico, Santa Clara, Villa Norma and El Romeral. Growing threat Flooding in Juan Diaz comes a week after an inspection carried out by representatives of Sinaproc, the Society of Engineers and Architects the Technological Institute (UTP), the Ministry of Public Works, and the Ministry of Environment. During the inspection, it was observed that from the head of the Juan Díaz river in the foothills of Cerro Azul, until its exit in the Bay of Panama, there are clear marks of damage to its channel and surrounding trees Figures from the Juan Díaz community council indicate that the floods impact more communities each year. In 2010, one of the most aggressive floods, caused damage to 20 communities, while last August, floods reached 50 neighborhoods. Meanwhile, Sinaproc reported that the San Pedro river in Soná, Veraguas, overflowed its banks on Friday. http://www.newsroompanama.com/news/panama/juan-diaz-flood-threat-expanding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
