Reuters' Hayley Platt reports.
 
Many parts of southern and central Mexico have been flooded after more than two week's of heavy rain.

More than two dozen rivers have overflowed in the coastal states of Veracruz and Tabasco, flooding thousands of homes and causing damage to bridges.

Officials are keeping the oil wells in Coatzacoalcos closed following several days of bad weather. In Villahermosa, the capital of Tabasco, some neighborhoods were under three feet of water.

Last year flooding in Tabasco killed at least 33 people and affected more than 1 million homes.
