Deadly Floods in Wake of Alex
Saturday, 03 July 2010 12:49
At least six people have died in heavy flooding in Mexico, as more than a year's worth of rain fell in three days.The victims were killed in and around the city of Monterrey, in the north of the country, following storms caused by Hurricane Alex.
The force of flood waters tossed and flipped cars and trucks, and buried houses in mud and rocks. Roads, bridges and railway tracks were swept away.
President Felipe Calderon toured damaged areas of the city and said 1,200 soldiers had been dispatched to help in relief efforts.
One woman was crushed to death by a mudslide as huge rocks from the surrounding mountains crashed down on roads.
The floods dragged away furniture from mansions in the San Pedro Garza Garcia suburb, Mexico's wealthiest municipality, and buffalo were washed out of the city zoo.
Normally spared from hurricanes coming from the Gulf of Mexico, Monterrey was caught unprepared for the storm that came ashore as a Category 2 hurricane on Wednesday night after it killed 12 people in Central America.
Many businesses in the city shut down as authorities closed bridges over the Santa Catarina river, usually bone-dry.
Tens of thousands of homes were without water and electricity and many people huddled in shelters.
