One dead, several missing as Tropical Storm Nora lashes Mexico

Severe floods bring down a hotel in town of Puerta Vallarta, killing a teenage boy from Spain.

Tropical Storm Nora continues to lash Mexico’s Pacific coast with torrential rains and heavy winds, a day after causing floods and landslides that killed at least one person in a popular resort town. Communities in the coastal states of Michoacan, Colima and Jalisco experienced heavy rain and rough surf on Sunday as the storm moved northward hugging the shoreline. The Jalisco state government said a teenager from Spain died on Saturday night when a hotel partially collapsed in the town of Puerto Vallarta amid severe flooding when Nora passed by the tourist city as a Category 1 hurricane.
