Mexico Flooding Kills at Least 50 Horses, One Man
Date: 27-Aug-08
Country: MEXICO
A storm pounded the capital on Monday night, causing massive traffic jams and flooding key intersections across the city.
The rain flooded a gorge close to the club in a wealthy neighborhood and the water rose more than 7 feet high (2.5 meters), drowning the animals inside the stables. The watchman was buried by a mudslide as he tried to free the animals.
