A woman looks out of her damaged house, after heavy rains brought on by Hurricane Ida, in the village of San Vicente November 9, 2009. Ida tore across parts of Central America before weakening into a tropical storm and heading to the southern United States. Heavy rains pummeled El Salvador this weekend, bursting the banks of rivers and killing at least 124 people in floods and landslides, prompting the President to ask for emergency funds from Congress for victims of the storm.
