Flooding traps 300,000 in Mexico

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7075195.stm

suffering its worst flooding in more than 50 years, with most of the state under water, 1m people affected and at least one death.

The state governor has urged anyone who owns a boat to help the rescue efforts, alongside army and navy crews.

President Felipe Calderon said the situation was "extraordinarily grave".

Red Cross officials said 80% of the state was flooded and the waters were still rising.
