I Was Caught In a Flood in Merida Yucatan Mexico 🇲🇽

This rainy season has started strong with many downpours happening. Floods have been happening in Merida, and all over the Yucatan Peninsula. In this video, come with me on a day that started as a beautiful and sunny day, and was quickly turned into a flood zone.

Thanks for sharing! I've spent the winter and spring months in Merida (dry season) but never the summer months. I had no idea the rains could get this bad, wow!

[@holaadventures]

@@teachtravelthrive thanks for watching! We've had some record breaking rainfall this year so it's been interesting. Fortunately everyone here goes with the flow, quite literally! 🌊

En temporada de lluvias, preparar un par de chanclas o zapatos de plástico en la mochila y una bolsa de plástico para meter mis tenis me ha salvado de muchas ✌🏻

[@holaadventures]

@@Estefany_Estrella Este es un muy buen consejo, estoy poniendo chanclas en mi mochila ahora mismo 🩴

[@vivaflork]

Wow this had some amazing footage, it's like the flooding is just part of life. Can't imagine what it would look like after a hurricane... stay safe, Yucatan!

[@holaadventures]

@@vivaflork Thank you! Time to inflate the pool floaties and ride the wave.

Merida is a beautiful city of extremes. From 🌞 to 🌊!! Wow. Your poor shoes and socks at the end. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏾

[@holaadventures]

@@actionvj that's a great way to put it 👏 I'm happy to report my shoes have recovered and I will be keeping some chanclas in my backpack moving forward 😅

Stay safe, and it's interesting that by raising the ground around the buildings you can save them from flooding.

[@holaadventures]

@@treedad8789 Thank you! You can definitely see this isn't their first rodeo when it comes to flooding. Thanks for watching!

EN MEXICO NO HAR SERVICIO? DE ALCANTARILLADO ?SEWER?

[@holaadventures]

@@mrkhalua2673 Sí, hay un sistema de alcantarillado. sin embargo, estamos muy cerca del océano, estamos sobre un lecho de piedra caliza, experimentamos tormentas tropicales y la alcantarilla se obstruye fácilmente con escombros. Por estas razones, cuando llueve mucho, el sistema se ve fácilmente abrumado. ¡gracias por preguntar!

[@arianaedwards6793]

I heard you guys were getting hit with a hurricane.

[@holaadventures]

@@arianaedwards6793 the rumors are true, Beryl is barreling down on us later tomorrow or Friday. Here it comes! Don't think I'll be out recording that one 👀

[@meatgravylard]

It isn't true or possible. Merida is inland over 300 kilometers from where it may make landfall. Merida is inland, hurricanes exist over water.
