Two powerful storms have pummeled Mexico as they converged from the Pacific and the Gulf, killing at least 41 people and forcing the evacuation of tens of thousands amid some of the worst flooding in decades. Tropical Depression Ingrid battered Mexico's northern Gulf coast, while the remnants of Tropical Storm Manuel lashed the Pacific coast, inundating the popular beach resort of Acapulco, the US National Hurricane Center (NHC) said on Monday.
