GUATEMALA CITY, May 29 (Reuters) - Guatemala declared a state of emergency on Saturday as heavy rain from Tropical Storm Agatha lashed the Central American nation, killing at least four people and forcing hundreds from their homes.
Two adults and two children were killed when their home was buried in a mudslide in Alomolonga, 120 miles (200 km) west of the capital, emergency officials reported.
"This (storm) is serious … The worst will come around 9 am (on Sunday) and we are extending the state of emergency to the entire country," President Alvaro Colom told a news conference, adding that the government was evacuating many families from at-risk areas.
