Tropical Storm Kills 100 in Central America VOA News 31 May 2010 People walk down a road under rain and fog in Verapaz, El Salvador, 30 May 2010 Photo: AP People walk down a road under rain and fog in Verapaz, El Salvador, 30 May 2010 Some 100 people have died in Central America in floods and landslides triggered by the first tropical storm of the eastern Pacific hurricane season. Officials say torrential rains from Tropical Storm Agatha killed more than 80 people in Guatemala alone, including four children swept away in a landslide. Deaths have also been reported in El Salvador and Honduras. More than 74,000 people in the region have been forced to flee their homes. The storm pounded Central America and Mexico Saturday and Sunday. Agatha made landfall near the Guatemala-Mexico border Saturday with winds of 75 kilometers per hour. Thousands of people in Guatemala had already been evacuated due to the eruption of the Pacaya volcano, which killed at least one person. The volcano, just south of Guatemala City, began spewing lava and rocks Thursday and forced the country's main airport to close.  Some information for this report was provided by AP, AFP and Reuters. .
