Hurricane Lane leaves mess on Mexican coast

MAZATLAN, Mexico -- Residents hauled bags of mud out of their homes and tourists tried to resume their vacations Sunday after Hurricane Lane battered this popular resort town.

A day after the Category 3 storm swept away cars, toppled trees and crumpled billboards, some tourists sat in Jacuzzis and pools under a light drizzle or walked in ankle-deep water to shops and restaurants, which opened their previously boarded-up doors.

Others, however, were trying desperately to get out of the mud-covered resort.
