STORY: Hurricane Carlotta weakened to a tropical storm on Saturday after battering Mexico's Pacific coast and killing at least two children when their house collapsed in a landslide.
The government of Mexico lifted the hurricane warning from Salina Cruz to Acapulco after Carlotta made landfall in the southern state of Oaxaca on Friday, dumping rain on mountainous villages along the coast.
A mudbrick house collapsed in the town of Pluma Hidalgo, Oaxaca killing a 13-year-old girl and her 7-year-old sister, said a spokeswoman for the states' emergency services department. The girls' mother survived but was badly injured and taken to the hospital.
