Whirlwind kills 1, damages 90
houses in Mexico
A whirlwind hit the city
of Monterrey in the northern
state of Nuevo Leon, leaving one
dead, another injured and 90
houses damaged on Wednesday.
The strong winds and heavy rains
mainly affected the region of
Benito Juarez, some 30km from
downtown Monterrey.
A 50-year-old woman in the
region was drowned in an
overflowing stream during the
storm.
Another person was injured and
90 houses in the Los Naranjos
