"The emergency tested us and we showed what we are capable of. We have always been a team capable of overcoming adversity," Tabe stated during a press conference. He emphasized that residents witnessed the continuous presence of municipal teams addressing reports and clearing debris, including fallen trees and branches.
While the storm battered our streets, there were public servants who did not go to sleep; they put on their raincoats, faced the rain, and went out to help their neighbors.
Tabe highlighted the dedication of public servants who worked through the storm, donning raincoats and venturing out to assist neighbors. He credited the "Operativo Tormenta" (Storm Operation) and "Gobierno Nocturno" (Night Government) strategies for enabling a rapid response to initial emergencies.
This is proof of what we are as a team in Miguel Hidalgo, and today I want to publicly recognize all the men and women of the alcaldรญa who work day and night to respond to our neighbors.
The storm caused considerable damage, with around 200 trees falling across the area, including 20 in the Pensiles zone alone. Downed power poles and disruptions to electricity supply were also reported in several neighborhoods. Tabe acknowledged the challenging conditions, noting that staff worked through the rain, often doubling their shifts, to manage the situation effectively.
It was the result of a well-organized, committed team capable of responding under any circumstance.
