flooding. The worst impacts in Honduras occurred in districts west and north of Tegucigalpa. On June 4, 25.2 in (64 cm) of rain fell in Ocotepeque, Honduras, triggering a landslide in a mountain valley above the city. The landslide acted as a natural dam along the southern slope of Cerro El Pital . Rainfall accumulated in a lake formed behind this temporary obstruction as the storm meandered over Central America. On June 7, the barrier burst, producing a debris flow that killed an estimated 468 people, representing over 10 percent of Ocotepeque's population. The town was largely destroyed, with all buildings succumbing to the flood except for the town church. Despite the magnitude of the disaster, contemporary reports were scarce due to the city's remote location and lack of communications. The destruction caused the city to be relocated 2.5 mi (4 km) north, where it was named Nueva Ocotepeque; the former city was later resettled slightly outside the floodplain of the Río Marchala and renamed as Antigua Ocotepeque. The Lempa and Ulúa rivers rose significantly due to the rainfall, with the latter rising . Residents of Pimienta fled to a hill to avoid advancing floodwaters only to be drowned there as the Ulúa River continued to rise. Hundreds of cattle also drowned in Pimienta. More than 125 buildings were destroyed in the city with property losses estimated at $500,000. At Villanueva, floods were deep. Honduran president Tiburcio Carías Andino appealed to American officials in Panama for tents due to the displacement of Ocotepeque residents. A total of 65 tents were delivered by 11 bombers to Tegucigalpa on June 16. Serum for combating disease in storm-stricken Honduras and El Salvador was prepared and sent to San Salvador for distribution. The American Red Cross allocated $1,000 towards relief for those affected by the hurricane in Honduras. Six people were killed in the Mexican state of Chiapas following a plane crash, possibly due to strong winds from the storm. After completing its loop over Central America and reemerging into the Caribbean Sea, the storm made landfall as a on Quintana Roo on June 9, producing hurricane-force winds inland over the Yucatán Peninsula. Due to the region's sparse population, there were no reports of significant damage. The storm damaged crops between Progreso and Payo Obispo. Ships were sunk in the harbor at Progreso.
