Relatives and friends carry the coffin of a child who was killed during heavy rains brought on by Hurricane Ida at the municipal cemetery in the village of San Vicente near San Salvador 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 130 people in floods and landslides, prompting the President to ask for emergency funds from Congress for victims of the storm.
