Mexicans Missing, Homeless After Flood, Landslide

A huge wave of mud and water engulfed a village in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas. So far about a dozen people are missing and feared dead. The landslide is the latest disaster to strike that part of the country. In neighboring Tabasco, thousands of residents are homeless after flood waters covered almost the entire state.
