Hurricane Raymond stays at sea

A greatly weakened Hurricane Raymond was staying at sea as its rains caused some flooding on Mexico’s Pacific coast and led authorities to evacuate a village threatened by mudslides from two soaked hills.

In the inland mountains, officials had moved hundreds of residents out of El Paraiso and planned to completely empty the village of 7,000 people because of fears of landslides, said Guerrero state’s deputy secretary of civil protection, Constantino Gonzalez.
