At least 13 people have been killed by a tornado that hit the northern Mexico border city of Ciudad Acuna.<\/p>\n
Hundreds of homes have been damaged or destroyed in the city, in Coahuila state, just across the border from Del Rio, Texas.<\/p>\n
The US state has had big floods, with at least three dead and 12 missing.<\/p>\n
Images from Mexico showed cars and buildings badly damaged. Many people have been injured and there are fears the death toll could rise.<\/p>\n
Coahuila Governor Ruben Moreira, on a visit to the stricken area, said 10 adults and three children had died and a baby was missing. Another 150 people had been taken to hospital, he said.<\/p>\n
The authorities say that more than 1,000 homes have been damaged by the storm.<\/p>\n
At one point the tornado reached a speed of 270-300km\/h (168-186mph). Most of those who died were walking on the street when it struck, officials said.<\/p>\n
