A tropical storm hit Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador during the weekend. It is estimated that 92 people died in Guatemala alone, and nearly 112,000 were evacuated. The storm destroyed homes, buildings, and towns through Central America. In Guatemala City the tremendous downpour created a sinkhole. It has been stated that a three story building and a house fell into this sink hole. It is believed that a poor sewage drainage system is the cause of the sinkhole forming. In all about 115 people died.
