Mexico ? Floodwaters from Hurricane Lorenzo were receding Saturday in eastern Mexico after rains triggered mudslides and floods that killed at least five people and drove tens of thousands from their homes.

Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Melissa was gaining strength Saturday evening over the eastern Atlantic, the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said. Melissa had sustained winds of 45 mph, but posed no immediate threat to land.

In the eastern Pacific, Tropical Storm Juliette was about 500 miles off the coast of Mexico and was no threat to land.

Atlantic Tropical Storm Karen faded into a tropical depression and was likely to dissipate soon, with winds of 35 mph about 495 miles east of the Leeward Islands.

Lorenzo hit Mexico’s Gulf coast on Friday and quickly faded into a potent rainstorm as it moved over east-central Mexico, dumping more than 13 inches of rain in some areas in less than a day.
