FLOODING FROM KARL: NORTH OF VERACRUZ; SEPT 18

TROPICAL STORM MATTHEW: SEPT 24, 2010

During 2010, Oaxaca and some other parts of Mexico have endured their worst rainy season on record, with heavy flooding and mudslides forcing thousands from their homes.

Santa Maria Tlahuitoltepec, famous for its colonial buildings and archaeological sites, is the heartland of the indigenous Mixe culture, which is considered one of Mexico's poorest.

A VIEW OF THE LANDSLIDE

A VIEW OF THE LANDSLIDE

The slide dragged several houses some 400 m down the hillside along with cars, livestock and light poles.

It is not yet clear how many homes were damaged or buried in the slide and how many deaths.

Bad weather and roads damaged by earlier mudslides kept emergency rescue teams from reaching the residents of Santa Maria Tlahuitoltepec

The landslide, triggered by heavy rain fall from Hurricane Karl and tropical storm Matthew, buried hundreds in Santa Maria Tlahuitoltepec, MX, around 4 am as they slept.

Matthew moved northward towards Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula with heavy rain fall.
