At least thirteen people have been killed by a tornado that hit the Northern Mexico border city of Ciudad Acuna. Hundreds of homes have been damaged or destroyed in the city. The US states has seen severe flooding with three killed and dozens missing.
Coahuila Govorner Ruben Moreira said that 10 adults and 3 children died and another 150 wounded have been taken to the hospital and a baby is missing.
According to a local media, the missing baby was strapped into the Child-seat of a car.
Mayor Evaristo Lenin Perez said, "Most of the dead are people who were outside, not people who were inside their homes.". He added it was the first tornado that hits the city since the foundation of the city more that 100 years ago.
Rescuers were searching the 750 damaged properties for more causalities.
"There are cars at the top on the top of the houses, there are dead lying in the street, it is total chaos," said the local resident Maria del Rosario Ramirez, quoted by a local newspaper La Jornada.
