People walk on May 31, 2010 along a road eroded by the overflowing of the Choluteca River in the neighbourhood of El Chile, in Tegicigalpa. The first tropical storm of the season killed at least 101 people across Central America, triggering flash floods and mudslides that swept away homes and destroyed roads, officials said. Tropical Storm Agatha also forced tens of thousands of people to flee their homes as it whipped heavy rains across Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Mexico. Honduras President Porfirio Lobo declared a nationwide state of emergency Sunday and established a crisis management committee to address heavy flooding and other effects from the storm.
