East, west, south: Storms slap Mexico on 3 fronts

Severe weather was hitting Mexico from nearly all sides Wednesday as Tropical Depression Manuel, the remnants of Tropical Storm Ingrid, and a new area of low pressure threatened most of the country with flooding or rain. At least 57 lives had been lost due to the storms.

The hardest-hit area was the Pacific state of Guerrero, where an estimated 40,000 tourists were stuck as dozens of roads were damaged and the airport in Acapulco temporarily suspended services. [...] More than 1 million residents across Mexico have been affected in some way by the storms, Interior Minister Miguel Angel Osorio Chong told reporters.
