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.
