OAXACA: Residents in southern Mexico sought shelter as intense rains caused heavy flooding that affected some 38,000 people and killed at least two.

Torrential downpours hammered Oaxaca, causing mudslides that blocked roads and destroyed homes.

In the seaport of Salina Cruz, one mudslide killed two people when it buried their house.

"The excess of water, the mudslide, is what brought the house down and two people inside were buried," said local police chief, Rolando Soriano.

The local media reported that three other people had been injured in a separate mudslide.

Troops and Red Cross teams brought hot food and other basic supplies to Salina Cruz residents while the Oaxacan state government recommended that the federal government declare a state of emergency in several parts of the department.

Forecasters expect the rain to continue for at least another day.
