Belen floods again
BELEN The monsoon season has once again ravaged the Hub City as between 2.95 and 3.2 inches of rain fell in a matter of two hours Tuesday night, causing flooding throughout Belen.
The excessive amount of rain that poured down in such a short amount of time caused a breach of the Highline Canal at Delgado Avenue, sending water into Belen and damaging roads, residents and businesses.
