For more than a week, several states in Mexico have faced widespread devastation as torrential rains, fueled by the remnants of Hurricane Priscilla and Tropical Storm Raymond, put entire communities across Veracruz, Hidalgo, Puebla, Querétaro and San Luis Potosí under water. The storms destroyed homes, isolated towns and overwhelmed local infrastructure.
As of Oct. 17, at least 72 people have died and dozens remain missing, according to data from the Mexican government.
