Mexico counts deaths from “zombie storm” John

At least 80 landslides occurred in the state of Oaxaca, some of which buried houses and their residents. In some areas, entire communities were cut off as roads became impassable.

The resort town of Acapulco, still not recovering from the effects of last year’s Hurricane Otis, has been severely flooded.

City officials asked anyone with a boat to help rescue people trapped in flooded neighborhoods.

Residents posted videos on social media of themselves wading through water that came up to their shoulders.

Some families climbed onto the roofs of their homes as the water rose.

Officials said more than 5,000 people had to be evacuated and 3,800 were sleeping in shelters.

Claudia Sheinbaum, who is set to be sworn in as Mexico’s new president on Tuesday, said she would visit the state of Guerrero with her ministers on Wednesday to ensure those affected receive “the necessary assistance.”
