I hope that they can get people there soon to start the massive job of digging these buried homes out to see if any have survived. To wake up and find out your buried alive can be problematic.

Mudslide Buries Scores of Homes in Indigenous Mexican Town, But Massive Toll Said to Be Averted

An indigenous town in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca has been buried in mud and stones after incessant rain triggered a landslide early Tuesday morning. Access to the remote and impoverished town of Santa María Tlahuitoltepec has been restricted, with roads and bridges washed out by the rain or blocked by the landslide. Initial estimates suggested hundreds of people could be dead and up to a 1,000 people trapped in their homes, but Mexican authorities now say only eleven people have been confirmed missing. We go to Oaxaca to speak with filmmaker David Riker. Ref. Source 9
