Severe flooding in Mexico leaves dozens missing

The home of a resident, built by the beach, now hangs at the edge of the water in Barra de Coyuca, a tourist resort close to Acapulco, Guerrero state, Mexico on September 19, 2013 as heavy rains hit the country.Deaths from floods and landslides battering Mexico neared 100 on Thursday as a fresh hurricane hit the northwest and rescuers faced a risky mission in a village buried in mud.

Mexico has been battered by twin storms this week. While Hurricane Ingrid hit the eastern Gulf Coast, tropical storm Manuel drenched the Pacific coast, bringing floods and devastation to the resort city of Acapulco and surrounding areas.
