Mexico Flooding Kills At Least 33

Mexico, like Santa Barbara, has been experiencing much rain. The rain in Mexico has been so heavy that there has been flooding, killing at least 33 people and leaving thousands homeless. In Mexico's Michoacan state alone, the flooding killed at least 22 people and left more than 3,500 homeles. Mudslides have also been the cause of deaths, such as one that occurred in the small town of Temascaltepec. This rain is very uncharacteristic of Mexico, and it has been reported that up to 35,000 people could be affected. Many schools have been closed due to flooding, and there is no doubt that sickness will be easily spread as well.
These seem to be very dark times for Mexico. It is amazing to me that Santa Barbara had a lot of rain, but nothing to this factor happened here. People in Mexico must think that we are so lucky, and I wish that we could understand that more. Hopefully the rain will stop soon, and there will not be any more deaths.
