I think I remember something like this happening in Tijuana, back in 197?. From what I can remember, after some very heavy rains, the water in the
Abelardo Rodriguez Dam was quickly rising and causing concern as to the integrity of the dam. To prevent the dam from " Bursting " it was decided to
relieve pressure by opening the gates and flooding the Tijuana River. However allot of people had constructed homes along the river. I believe they
were given a warning to evacuate and then the gates were opened,washing away everything in its path including many innocent poor Mexicans that would
eventually wash up from Ensenada to San Diego. I couldn't find any articles relevant to this but one.
Sorry Baja Nomad, I wanted to post this on a thread I was following on La Paz being flooded. Can you move it ??
