After the storm passed through Mérida on Friday afternoon, there were no reports of damage or complications. Trees and posts did not fall, and puddles did not pose a problem for the few people who walked around the streets of the western colonies of Xoclán, Mulsay, Bojórquez, as well as neighborhoods like Juan Pablo II, Tixcacal-Opichén, Nora Quintana, and Yucalpetén.
During our afternoon survey after the storm, it was observed that most businesses were closed, and elements of the Public Security Secretary (SSP) were on patrol, with some stationed at checkpoints and others giving a sweep to prevent criminal activity in commercial areas.
By around 6 pm, public buses started running again, and many grocery stores and restaurants began opening their doors to offer service. The SSP reportedly had a “clean slate” during the emergency situation.
The Mexican Army, meanwhile, conducted patrols in several municipalities of the state as part of the DN-III-E plan, aiming to support the population affected by the passage of the tropical storm. The personnel from the 11th Infantry Battalion carried out patrols in the municipalities of Conkal and Progreso to support residents of these towns without reporting major disruptions.
