Flooding in Cayo

Belize is already feeling the impacts of Tropical Storm Sara, with severe flooding already affecting the Cayo District. Key bridges, including the Iguana Creek Bridge, are almost completely submerged, making them impassable.

Images shared by What’s Up in Santa Elena show water levels rising to almost 7 feet. The river levels are rising quickly, flooding areas like the San Ignacio-Santa Elena bridge and the nearby Boardwalk.

Local vendors in San Ignacio are reportedly concerned about the damage.
