Heavy rains have caused a massive mudslide in the mountainous terrain near Santa Maria Tlahuitoltepec, in southwestern Mexico, where hundreds are now feared dead. The landslide occurred around 4am Tuesday morning where officials report up to 300 homes could be buried and 500 people are feared dead. Rescue workers are on the way to the region but efforts have been slow due to the bad weather. The remnants of tropical storm Mathew has brought record rainfall to some parts of central America and southern Mexico where close to 20 inches of rain could have fallen.
