Mexico Tropical Storm Earl Cost 38 Lives  

Earl made landfall in Belize this week as a Category One hurricane, after causing destruction in the Caribbean.

The storm was later downgraded to a tropical depression but it still left a path of destruction in Mexico.

The death toll in Mexico’s landslides and flooding has jumped to 38 after Tropical Storm Earl swept through the country’s eastern regions.

The state worst hit is Puebla, where officials say 28 people died. Another 10 people were killed in the state of Veracruz.

Previously, the confirmed number of deaths was six.
