MEXICO CITY (AP) - Mexican authorities on Friday reported the first death from Hurricane Emily, which destroyed thousands of buildings and drove 90,000 people from their homes as it tore through northern Mexico this week.
The report of a woman swept away by floodwaters in the northern city of San Pedro Garza Garcia came just as President Vicente Fox toured the devastation caused by the hurricane.
Officials said the evacuation of tens of thousands of people in the Yucatan area and along Mexico's northern Gulf coast helped avoid more extensive tragedies.
