Floods from leftover storm Rachel killed four people near Ensenada, Mexico, state prosecutors say; others are still missing

Status

Partially confirmed. The governor's morning count, the shelters, the personnel, and the president's request to the National Water Commission are what officials said in the presidency's transcript of Monday morning's news conference. The four deaths are Excélsior's Monday night report of what the Baja California state prosecutor's office said. This desk did not open a prosecutor's page. The missing-person counts differ, so this story does not settle them.

• Confirmed

  In the Monday morning transcript, Baja California Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda said the worst damage was in the municipality of Ensenada, that one girl had been found dead, and that 10 people were listed as not located, 8 in Ensenada and 2 in San Felipe. She said the state had opened 6 temporary shelters holding 56 people and had deployed more than 14,000 personnel.

• Confirmed

  President Claudia Sheinbaum said she asked the National Water Commission to help with water shortages in Ensenada (same transcript).

• Partially confirmed

  Excélsior, quoting the Baja California state prosecutor's office, reported Monday night that four people had been found dead in the Maneadero area of Ensenada, two adults and two children, after the El Pípila creek flooded on Saturday, Oct. 10, and that searchers were still looking for others. The morning count and later reports do not match. This desk did not open a prosecutor's page.
