From Times Wire Reports
A new surge of flood water in the devastated state of Tabasco has apparently killed six people, officials said, adding to the toll of hundreds who have died in storms over the last month. An estimated 120,000 of the 465,000 residents of the Villahermosa area remained evacuated. Almost incessant rain that began in mid-September has repeatedly flooded coastal communities and filled dams to the bursting point. Local and state officials have now reported at least 404 deaths.
