Matthew Mauls Mexico
posted (September 28, 2010)
Last night we were counting our blessings after Matthew swooshed over Belize without causing any major damage, loss of property, or loss of life. Sadly, tonight in Southern Mexico, they cannot do the same. Hundreds are fared dead after mudslides caused by Tropical Depression's Matthew's rains.

The greatest damage is concentrated in the Oaxaca region where at least one hundred are missing with 4 confirmed dead. Elsewhere in the state, at least four rivers broke their banks, causing widespread flooding and forcing residents to flee their homes.

Tropical Storm Matthew, had already left a dozen people dead in El Salvador, Guatemala and Mexico's state of Chiapas.
