Tropical Storm Trudy Kills Six – Mudslides Strand 16 Towns

Six people have died as Tropical Storm Trudy - since downgraded to a tropical depression - lashes Mexico, prompting evacuations and stranding 16 towns.

The heavy rain caused a landslide on a farm in the indigenous town of Tlacoachistlahuaca in the southern state of Guerrero, killing a 23-year-old man, a civil protection official told local media on Sunday.

Two children and a woman were crushed to death when a wall collapsed in a mudslide in Ometepec; another person was buried in Cochoapa by a caved-in wall; and a swollen stream swept away a 70-year-old man, officials say . . .
