ORIGINAL POST:

I don't think the media (or we at AccuWeather.com) did a good job covering this story in the beginning, but you're seeing more coverage this week. NewsVOA says that over 1,000,000 (1 million) people have been displaced by last week's flooding in the Tabasco, Mexico, area, caused by several days of relentless tropical rains. A recent landslide has made things worse. More photos can be found at Yahoo News.

Rescue in Mexico - Nov. 5, 2007 - Flooding victims are carried to safety on a military amphibious vehicle along the flooded streets of Villahermosa, Mexico, Monday, Nov. 5, 2007. At least 20,000 people were still trapped Monday on the rooftops of homes swallowed by water in one of the worst floods in local history. Government officials worked furiously to distribute aid and vowed to crack down on looting by desperate residents. (AP Photo/ America Rocio)
