Puerto Vallarta Mayor Tours Damage from Hurrican Lidia with National Guard (Photos)

PUERTO VALLARTA (PVDN) – Municipal President Alberto Profe Michel toured the affected areas of Puerto Vallarta early Wednesday morning to assess the damage following the passage of Hurricane Lidia. He was accompanied by directors from Civil Protection, Seapal, Municipal Public Services, and elements of the Mexican Army who have been executing the DN III Plan to address emergencies.

During their inspection, the authorities initially focused on the central area of the port city. Their observations revealed multiple instances of property and environmental damage, including several fallen trees, damaged awnings of local businesses, and collapsed signage. However, it was noted that the city’s iconic boardwalk did not suffer significant damage; the only visible impact was to some of its lamps and palm trees.

The delegation’s second focus point was the Cuale River, a critical tributary that briefly overflowed near Secondary 84 of Colonia Buenos Aires. According to reports from Municipal Civil Protection, the river swelled dramatically after the Sierra de Cuale received torrential rainfall brought on by Hurricane Lidia.

The officials later proceeded to the Luis Donaldo Colosio Highway Bypass, where they encountered more than 60 fallen trees obstructing vehicular movement. Municipal Civil Protection and Mexican Army personnel were seen actively removing the blockages. Crews from CFE, the Federal Electricity Commission, were also spotted repairing an almost-fallen utility pole near the access to Las Colonia Rocks.

As of now, the Government of Puerto Vallarta reports a white balance concerning loss of human life, signifying that no fatalities have occurred. Material damage, however, is considerable. The government has assured residents that the most severe risks associated with the hurricane have passed and normal activities can be resumed.

Power outages have been reported in several neighborhoods including Libramiento, Caloso, Ecoterra, Pitillal, Aquiles Serdán, Canoas, and Remence. Full details regarding the resumption of services will be released once all the obstructing trees have been removed.

Prof. Michel expressed his gratitude towards the Vallarta community for adhering to safety guidelines issued by the Civil Protection authorities. “Many thanks to the citizens who responded to the municipal civil protection message to not go out into the streets, to the beach, and to stay away from rivers and streams. Let’s continue in this spirit of following the instructions of the authority to safeguard ourselves,” he stated.
