Flood in Tabasco.

The Mexican State of Tabasco one of the favorite places of the tourism, suffered from past 28 of October of 2007 but great flood of its history, this state of the Southeast of Mexico, rich in petroleum and considered paradise by its exuberance and natural wealth, is lost everything in one week.

With 70 % of its territory under water and little but of 1 millon of victims, a total population in the state of 2.200.000 habitants.

Intense rains fallen in the last days in the south of Mexico elevated the level of the rivers until historical levels which, together with the weather that is registered in the Gulf of Mexico, created a hydraulic cork, that it has prevented that the rivers which they cross the state spill to the sea.

The were overflowed rivers Pichucalco, Puxcatán , la Sierra, Samaria, Mezcalapa and San Pedro, those same fluvial channels are those that spill towards the state of Tabasco where the situation is complicated in ten of the seventeen municipalities that compose it, most harmful have been the Grijalva and the Reedbed, that end at Villahermosa, the State Capital.

This represents an enormous tragedy for the families tabasqueñas because seriously their houses, furniture, clothes, animals and their work are damaged.
