Headline: The downpours also damaged thousands of homes and cut off power to entire towns. More rain was expected this weekend.

Paragraphs: Heavy rains in Mexico set off widespread flooding and landslides this week that killed at least 41 people across four states, damaged thousands of houses and roads, cut off power to entire communities and forced hundreds to evacuate their homes, the authorities said.

The authorities linked the rain to Post-Tropical Cyclone Priscilla, formerly a hurricane, and to Tropical Storm Raymond, both off western Mexico in the Pacific Ocean. Forecasters expect the rain to continue this weekend.
