80 Killed, Thousands Stranded in Mexico Floods 
-----------------------------------------------


 
In Mexico, at least 80 people are dead amid massive flooding brought by
tropical storms, including one that transformed into a hurricane
Wednesday. Hurricane Manuel is expected to bring more devastation to the
northwestern state of Sinaloa. In the southern resort city of Acapulco,
some 40,000 tourists have been left stranded. North of the city, a
mudslide inundated a coffee-growing village where 58 people are now
missing.
