Seven Victims Killed in Mexico Landslide


After two days of violent storms, a hillside collapsed on a rural Mexican community in the middle of the night on Tuesday. The landslide in Santa Maria Tlahuitoltepec, a town about 130 miles southeast of Mexico City, killed seven and left many more missing. According to NPR, at least 100 homes were ruined in the landslide, the intensity of the slide dragged houses, people, cars, livestock and light poles up to 1,300 feet downhill. The storms brought by Hurricane Karl and Tropical Storm Matthew have caused dozens of other deaths.
