Caution

For the residents of the Puente de Hierro neighborhood, in the main city of the easternmost of the Camagüeyan municipalities, the heavy rains bring with them the concern of floods that can affect even streets not so close to the Guáimaro River.

Although the forecast models of the Institute of Meteorology indicate that Hurricane Melissa will directly impact the eastern region of the country, the province of Camagüey, and especially this area bordering Las Tunas, are closely monitoring the hydrographic network due to rainfall and the possible increase in water levels.

Regarding the weather forecast, authorities and media have repeatedly warned against traveling through flooded areas or swimming in swollen dams and rivers.

The messages frequently refer to young people, who generally engage in reckless behavior that endangers their lives.

Just hours before facing a new test from nature, the Guáimaro River is capturing the interest of the community due to an increase in its volume.

This serves as a wake-up call to families to prevent tragic incidents caused by recklessness and overconfidence.
