Tropical Storm Ingrid pelts east Mexico with rain

At least three major rivers in the eastern state of Veracruz were flooding or close to overflowing their banks and hundreds of people were evacuating low-lying areas, officials said. A bridge collapsed near the northern city of Misantla, cutting off the area from the state capital. Thirteen people died when a landslide buried their homes in heavy rains spawned by Tropical Depression Fernand on Monday.
State officials imposed an orange alert, the highest possible, in parts of southern Veracruz. Ingrid was expected to dump 10 to 15 inches (25 to 40 centimeters) of rain over a large part of eastern Mexico with as much as 25 inches (65 centimeters) in some places. |
