Heavy rain has caused severe flooding in the Mexican city of Piedras Negras (Black Rocks) on the border with Texas, and Coahuila state officials say one person has died and 10,000 houses are damaged, leaving 40,000 people homeless. State government secretary Armando Luna Canales said Sunday that one of the hardest hit areas was the city center, where many businesses reported flood losses. Luna said the storm that started Friday afternoon and continued into Saturday dropped 60 percent of the rain usually seen in a full year in Piedras Negras. The city is located across the Rio Grande river from Eagle Pass, Texas. Officials in the U.S. state said 42.5 centimeters of rain fell there, and some people evacuated as a precaution but were returning to their homes.
