Hurricane Keith toppled homes, ripped the roofs off hotels and caused flooding throughout Belize as it swirled just off the country's Caribbean coast with 75-mph winds. Flooding associated with Keith caused three deaths elsewhere in Central America and at least one in Mexico. The worst property damage came in Belize, where streets were flooded with more than a dozen inches of rain since Sunday. Monday evening, Keith's winds dropped to 69 mph, and it was downgraded to a tropical storm.
