AUTHORITIES in central Mexico were on alert yesterday for possible mudslides and flooding as the remnants of Hurricane Karl pushed inland hours after the storm swept onto the Gulf coast and killed two people.
Out in the Atlantic, meanwhile, Hurricane Igor strengthened into a Category 2 storm and was on a track to approach Bermuda later today.
Karl, which caused widespread damage as a hurricane in the port city of Veracruz, weakened to a tropical depression on Friday night. A landslide buried a house in the town of Nexticapan, killing a 61-year-old woman and a two-year-old girl and injuring two others, said Aru Becerra, a spokeswoman for Civil Protection in Puebla, a state bordering the Mexican capital.
Authorities across central Mexico prepared for possible flash floods and mudslides and Mexico City officials put hospitals on alert.
