A record-breaking 179.2 litres per square metre (7.1 inches) of rain fell in Turis in one hour at the height of the storm, the State Meteorological Agency as said.
Wow! Of course, people are saying the government isn't doing enough, quickly enough, probably because they aren't, but the community and civilian response looks amazing:
