Mexico storms kill at least 34 and leave thousands homeless
At least 40 people have been killed in Mexico by two powerful storms battering the country simultaneously, one on its east and another on its west coast.
Hurricane Ingrid sent thousands to shelters on Mexico's eastern Gulf Coast before it was downgraded to a tropical storm just before it made landfall.
It is dumping torrential rains as it moves west-northwest through Tamaulipas state at a speed of 13km/h (8mph).
On the Pacific coast, Tropical Storm Manuel also caused widespread damage.
Twenty-two people were killed in the region, most of them in Guerrero state. The other victims were in Hidalgo, Puebla and Oaxaca.
