Swollen Rivers
Flood Tampico
In Low Areas
Mexico City, Aug. 28—(A 5 )—Riv
ers swollen by hurricane rains
started, flooding low-lying parts of
Tampico Monday as Mexico count
ed its dead and damage from last
week’s storm.
With thousands of acres flooded
inland, rescuers feared the death
toll in Mexico from last Wednes
day’s hurricane and its aftermath
may go above the 54 persons re
ported thus far. The injured were
numbered at 382.
Damage to storm-battered Tam
pico and crops over hundreds of
square miles along the Gulf Coast
is unofficially estimated at $6,-
000,000.
The hurricane took 156 lives on
the Brutish Island of Jamaica, one
each in Tampico and Tuxpan, 42
from the flood of a burst dam at
Cardenas. Ten persons were re
ported drowned in the floods
around El Mante, on the Pan
American Highway from Laredo,
Tex., to Mexico City.
The Panuco River star-ted to
overflow Centenario Avenue, in
lower Tampico, and the Morelos
District on Chairel Lagoon Mon
day. It also covered evacuated
Pithaya Island, in the lagoon. The
river was six feet above normal,
having risen seven inches between
midnight and 8 a. m. (CST). In
habitants of the flooded areas es
caped in boats.
A four-day old tropical storm in
the Pacific had veered away from
Mexico’s West Coast. The Los-
Angeles, Calif., weather bureau re
ported it centered 350 miles West-
Northwest of Le Paz, at the tip
of lower California, at 2 p. m.
(CST). The winds of 60 miles an
hour velocity, accompanied by
rough sea, heavy rain and squalls
as for as 200 miles, apparently
was moving north-westward out
into the ocean.
Trucks and trains pushed
through receding flood waters in
the Tampico zone to carry food,
doctors and medicines to thousands
of refugees. Government planes
flew mercy missions to towns
whose land communications were
washed out by the rains.
Road communications to Tam
pico, oil port of 100,000 inhabitants
which took the brunt of the storm,
were open Monday. But many
small towns, some of them without
airports, were still cut off. Army
planes dropped them supplies.
