Guatemala City Sinkhole Feeds Disaster After Landslides Kill Hundreds
AP reports tropical storm Agatha triggered floods and landslides across Central America. Guatemala voices estimate 152 dead with 190 missing, while landslides bury rural communities in Chi llamtenango. A massive sinkhole in Guatemala City swallowed a clothing factory, 65 feet deep, with no deaths. Evacuations reach nearly 125,000 in Guatemala and thousands flee to Honduras and El Salvador. Honduras reports 17 dead as youths disappear in a river. Authorities warn and schools resume as relief efforts continue.
