Mexico City: Two people died in central Mexico from flooding caused by heavy rains, local authorities said Saturday, as severe downpours continued to batter parts of the country.
Two bodies were found in the city of Queretaro shortly before midnight Friday, a civil protection report said.
"They were swept away by rainwater," the report said.
Queretaro faced heavy rainfall on Saturday, causing damage to property and prompting federal authorities to initiate a military emergency response plan.
In Mexico City, also lashed by the downpours, operations at Benito Juarez International Airport, one of Latin America's busiest, were briefly halted on Saturday due to poor visibility.
