PUERTO VALLARTA, Mexico - Tropical Storm Olaf came ashore Tuesday just
south of Puerto Vallarta and skirted north along the coast, pummeling the
resort and lashing the coast with rain.

Cars were swept down city streets in the state capital of Tuxtla Gutierrez
and rescuers evacuated residents by boat from their homes. About 9 inches
of rain fell on the city in 24 hours, state authorities reported.

The intense rains caused the Rio Sabinal River and several smaller rivers
to overflow, flooding various communities outside the state capital.
