Thanks for sharing. Here in upper and slightly West Ajijic, we had plenty of rain, but apparently very little compared to you. There was absolutely no apparent damage on the streets of upper Colon nor upper Juarez, in West Ajijic, this morning when I drove to and from downtown Ajijic for breakfast.

Las lluvias que se registraron esta madrugada en la ribera de #Chapala, causaron afectaciones en la delegación de #Ajijic, específicamente en las colonias de Alceseca, La Canacinta, El Bajio, La Cristina, La Mojonera y Bugambilias, en los límites de Chapala con el municipio de #Jocotepec.
De manera preliminar, la Dirección de Protección Civil y Bomberos reporta alrededor de 200 viviendas con daños materiales, debido al desbordamiento de seis arroyos y nacimiento de nuevos cauces, según lo informado por el Ayuntamiento.
En el momento se está trabajando con maquinaria para limpieza de calles y de la carretera Chapala-Jocotepec, en coordinación de la Unidad Estatal de Protección Civil del Estado de Jalisco, para la remoción de troncos, tierra, lodo y piedras que afectan los accesos. 
Así mismo, para atender la emergencia, se han habilitado dos centros de acopio y albergues, en el Centro Cultural y en el DIF, en Ajijic, donde se brindará atención a las familias damnificadas, así como recolecta de alimentos no perecederos y artículos de limpieza, higiene personal y ropa en buen estado.

I have friends who drove from Rancho Alegre to the San Antonio Hospital this morning. Rancho Alegre is just west of the Joco Hospital. They did not say how long it took them. The comment from their housekeeper who lives in San Juan Cosala is that the September 2007 event was worse... their house had 12 inches of mud and water inside it from that event..

They estimate it took them 40 minutes total. The delay occurred in SJC on the highway because of equipment clearing the road.

And I would like to point out that the trip was west to east which is always faster than going east to west.

 We just took that trip to a restaurant west of the gas station.  Along the way, many delays and many 5 ft. high piles of debris along the side of the road.  One way traffic alternates slowed things even more. The restaurant was busily cleaning up mud, so no lunch there today, and we headed back eastward.  Advice:  don't go anywhere past Yves location westward. Huge mess!! Water still running across the road from the hills.
