Market vendors and business owners evacuation in downtown San Ignacio/Santa Elena



San Ignacio/ Santa Elena Mayor Earl Trapp is currently on the ground in the twin towns assessing damages, as flood waters continue to rise. Based on his experience, Mayor Trapp expects the Macal River to overflow into the San Ignacio market. Vendors are being advised to evacuate the area, while residents in low lying areas along the river are being advised to relocate. News Five spoke with Mayor Trapp this morning.
