Local and state emergency personnel arrived early on Monday afternoon after the Jalocote stream overflooded its banks. Roads and homes were also damaged by the flood. The state of Jalisco said on the platform X that emergency responders, including a medical helicopter, were able to rescue three people from the water. The Jalocote runs through a small town of just over 200 locals into Autlán de Navarro, a municipality in the southern coastal region of Jalisco.
