Floodwaters over the weekend designed to flow through an underground wash spilled onto Calle International in Nogales, Sonora, hitting the concrete wall and pooling up as high as 6 feet along storefronts, pictures taken Saturday evening obtained by the Santa Cruz County Flood Control District show.
