Title: Deadly floods in Belize after tropical storms
Post by: NeverWinter on June 04, 2008, 05:25:31 AM
BELIZE CITY - Flash flooding in Belize killed at least four people and left two others missing, witnesses said, due to tropical storms that also killed at least three people in other Central American nations and drove thousands from their homes.

The remnants of Tropical Storm Alma swept over Belize hours before Tropical Storm Arthur formed unexpectedly Saturday in the Caribbean and roared ashore at the Mexico-Belize border.

The storms flooded much of Central America and southern Mexico, where heavy rains continued Tuesday.
