There are projected to be more than 100 lives lost to Hurricane ETA that caused a massive mudslide in Antigua, Guatemala. Rescue teams have been searching non-stop for bodies since Saturday morning. Three bodies have been found in the village of Queja; there are 125 estimated dead lives. Luckily, around 3,000 survivors were able to travel to a nearby village and take shelter. However, there are hundreds of homes destroyed and completely gone. This hurricane is labeled as a category four; Honduras and Nicaragua have been experiencing high winds and are expected to take shelter these next few days.
