In Corozal, just south of the Mexican border, Dean uprooted trees, blew roofs from homes and flooded streets. Electricity was also out in most of Belize, but no deaths or major injuries were reported. Across the country most businesses were closed on Tuesday. Meanwhile in Mexico, Hurricane Dean swept across the Yucatan peninsula on Tuesday, toppling trees, power lines and houses as it bore down on the heart of Mexico's oil industry. At 2100 GMT, Dean had winds of 130 kph (80 mph) and was centred about 100 kilometres (60 miles) west-southwest of Campeche. It was moving west at 32 kph (20 mph), the National Hurricane Centre said. Dean hit Mexico early on Tuesday along a sparsely populated coastline, well to the south of major resorts. The storm struck the state capital of Chetumal, where residents spent a harrowing night with windows shattering and heavy water tanks flying off rooftops. Dean was the third-most intense Atlantic hurricane to make landfall since record keeping began in the 1850s. It had a minimum central pressure of 906 millibars, the third-lowest at landfall after the 1935 Labour Day hurricane in the Florida Keys and Hurricane Gilbert, which hit Cancun in 1988. The deadliest storm to hit Latin America in modern times was 1998's Hurricane Mitch, which killed nearly 11-thousand people and left more than 8-thousand missing, most in Honduras and Nicaragua Find out more about AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/HowWeWork Twitter:   / ap_archive   Facebook:   / aparchives   ​​ Instagram:   / apnews   You can license this story through AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/you...
