And that flooding is not only in Belize City - which, thanks to a low tide did indeed run off quickly in most, but not all areas. In the village of Silk Grass, the heavy rains caused something akin to a localized flash flood - inundating the community - and putting some areas underwater.
The area representative Rodwell Ferguson and NEMO responded quickly.
There was also flooding on the Coastal Highway where there was isolated flooding, particularly at the Gales Point Junction and the Manatee Bridge.
The National Hydrological Service says that The Manatee River and Soldier Creek Bridge is FLOODED on the Coastal Highway. While a FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL has been IDENTIFIED - with MEDIUM RISK for WATERSHEDS OFF THE EASTERN SLOPES OF THE MAYA MOUNTAINS.
