Agatha has weakened after hitting dry land and has been downgraded to a tropical depression, US forecasters said early Sunday. In Guatemala, the storm has already dumped 36 centimeters (14 inches) of rain, triggering flash floods and landslides that killed 14 people Saturday, including four adults and four children inside homes buried by mudslides, officials said.
