Hurricane Agatha Kills 10, Leaves 20 Missing in Southern Mexico

Hurricane Agatha caused flooding and mudslides that killed at least 10 people and left 20 missing, the governor of the southern state of Oaxaca said Tuesday.

Governor Alejando Murat said rivers overflowed their banks and swept away people in homes, while other victims were buried under mud and rocks.

"There were fundamentally two reasons" for the deaths, Murat told local media. "There were rivers that overflowed, and on the other hand, and the most serious part, were landslides."
