Mudslide leaves 35 families homeless in northern Mexico

"Electricity, water and gas have been cut off in the disaster zone," Jose Francisco Blake Mora, head of the state government, told a news briefing.

Local television footage showed images of rubble in Tijuana, a city that borders U.S. state California.

Tijuana suffered heavily during the 7.2-magnitude quake last month, the strongest one ever registered in the city which killed two people, injured more than 100 and displaced more than 5,000 families.

Although no one was injured in the mudslide, five homes were completely buried, with three others destroyed beyond repair and 11 more badly damaged which experts say might be toppled by strong gust of wind.

According to Blake Mora, geologists are now conducting an investigation to see if the landslide is related to the April quake., Kazinform cites Xinhua. See www.xinhaunet.com
