What was once Tropical Storm Narda dissipated on Tuesday morning but not before killing two people while raking along Mexico’s Pacific coast.
The two deaths occurred in the southern state of Oaxaca on Sunday, according to the Associated Press. A 26-year-old man died while trying to cross a river in San Pedro Mixtepec, and a 17-year-old boy was swept away in a river at San Jeronimo.
Also in Oaxaca, where Narda made landfall Saturday, thousands were evacuated. Thirteen municipalities suffered serious damage, according to Mexico News Daily.
Narda's rainfall also caused a landslide that buried a butcher shop and a clothing store in the Oaxacan town of Santa Catarina Juquila, Mexico News Daily also said. No injuries were reported in the landslide.
Floodwaters dragged three vehicles off the roads in Acapulco, and flooding damaged a public hospital.
A number of people had to be rescued after getting caught in fast-flowing rivers, Televisa reported.
