Hurricane Stan

Hurricane Stan kills 125 in Central America. Mudslides, flooding and 4 days of torrential rains pounded local mountain villages and urban shanty towns across poor areas in Mexico, Nicaragua and Honduras. The death toll nearly doubled yesterday when rivers burst their banks in southern Mexico and emergency teams found another 42 people buried under several feet of mud in remote Guatemalan towns. Fifty people have now been killed in both El Salvador and Guatemala, including the latest deaths, and another 25 total in Mexico, Nicaragua and Honduras.
