At least 40 people have been killed in the deadly storms happening on both coasts of Mexico. 60,000 tourists are stranded in Alcapulco. The storms triggered flash floods and land slides. On one of the road closings there was a bus accident caused by a landslide killing 12 people. It's not typical that Mexico gets hit by both a tropical storm and a hurricane at the same time. Having back-up ready for one storm is much different than preventing distruction on two.
