Hurricane Agatha caused flooding and mudslides that killed at least 10 people and left 20 missing, the governor of the southern state of Oaxaca said Tuesday.
Murat said power had been restored to some communities near the coast, but that some bridges had been washed out and mudslides blocked a number of highways.
Residents waded through neck-deep water to salvage what items they could from their homes, walking gingerly with piles of clothing atop their heads and religious figures in their arms. “The houses are totally flooded, so they are getting everything out,” Aquino said Monday as he watched his neighbors."There are stores, houses. More than anything else, we have to try to save all the good material, because everything else is going to be washed away.”
Nearby, heavy rain and high winds lashed the beach town of Zipolite, known for its clothing-optional beach and bohemian vibe. The wind howled for about six hours on Monday, aid Silvia Ranfagni, manager of the Casa Kalmar hotel in Zipolite.
