Three minors and one adult are the victims left by the passage of tropical storm Alberto in Mexico.

The adult died early this Thursday from an electric shock while carrying out repairs in his home, detailed Civil Protection of Mexico.

Storm Alberto caused intense rainfall on Wednesday, and in the early hours of Thursday morning it made landfall near the city of Tampico (Tamaulipas state), and was later downgraded to a tropical depression.

With maximum sustained winds of 55 km per hour (km/h), the phenomenon is forecast to still cause heavy rains in Nuevo León, Tamaulipas and other states such as Coahuila, Puebla, San Luis Potosí and Veracruz, reported the National Water Commission ( Conagua, state) in a statement.

Electrical shocks and hailstorms are also expected, which will increase the risk of landslides, river overflows and floods,
