As a result of all of the rain in Central America Guatemala has had a major landslide:

The Guatemalan authorities say the number of people killed when a hillside collapsed on houses in the village of El Cambray, 15km (nine miles) outside the capital, has risen to 73.

They said another 350 people were still believed to be missing under tonnes of rock and earth that slipped onto homes on Thursday night.

Then in Europe we had France floods: 16 dead on Riviera after storms

Violent storms and flooding have hit south-eastern France, killing at least 16 people with three more missing, officials say.

Three elderly people drowned when their retirement home near the city of Antibes was inundated with floodwater.

Others died trapped in their cars in tunnels and underground car parks as the waters rose.

French President Francois Hollande announced a state of “natural disaster” in the affected region.

And the flooding along the East Coast continues with tidal flooding from Joaquin and inland flooding from a stalled low pressure center. This October was acknowledged as the rainiest in South Carolina records with three weeks left.
