Rainstorm in San Pedro


Just had a crazy night, another good memory. Some friends and I went downtown to do some shopping and get dinner not realizing that we were about to get inundated with a massive rainstorm! When we came out of the shopping mall there was torrential downpour, part of the street had turned into a river and there were no taxis to be seen! We ended up eventually getting one after waiting for about three hours. I had to roll up my pants to get to the taxi, the water was right up to the doorline. Monterrey has a very poor drain system as they're not used to getting so much rain, so quickly. In some areas, cars were completely submerged! We ended up driving for an hour and a half before getting home. We got stuck on a bridge and ended up having to drive backwards. During the time it was only slightly hilarious but now we can all laugh about it!
