A man dressed as "El Cipitio" (R), a legendary character of Salvadoran folklore, performs for children at a refugee center for people displaced by Hurricane Ida, in Verapaz, 71 km (44 miles) east of San Salvador, November 13, 2009. As Ida earlier trekked northward toward the Gulf of Mexico over parts of Central America, torrential rain, floods and mudslides caused 152 deaths in El Salvador in the last few days, emergency workers in the country said.
