Starting from 3:00 a.m., the incessant rainfall continued well into the afternoon, causing traffic chaos and damage to local infrastructure. One of the most notable incidents occurred on Bolívar Avenue, near the Arco Iris community, where flooding made it impossible for low-profile vehicles to pass. Only taller vehicles could get through, which caused a major traffic jam for several hours. In another incident, a tree fell on a vehicle on Battery 35 Road, a key route connecting areas near Gatún Lake and Costa Abajo. Authorities are working to alleviate the impact and ensure the safety of the population. The public is urged to take precautions when traveling on affected roads and remain vigilant for possible new rainfall. Local authorities acted quickly to remove debris and restore circulation in the area. The floods also affected the José Dominador Bazán community, where streets were covered with water, complicating mobility for both vehicles and pedestrians. Despite the material damage, there were no reported fatalities, but the situation remains critical in some areas, with more rain expected in the coming hours. Fortunately, the occupants of the vehicle managed to escape in time, and no fatal injuries were recorded. Meanwhile, in the 16 de Junio community, another tree fell on a pedestrian path, hindering the free passage of residents.
