High pressure will control areas from Florida to Maine and much of Michigan. A storm will continue to move slowly eastward over the Central states. While the storm is already considerably weaker when compared to this past weekend, it will continue to produce pockets of heavy rain and locally gusty thun- derstorms from part of the central and southern Plains to the adjacent areas in the Mississippi Val- ley. Enough rain can fall to aggravate the flooding problems in central and eastern Texas.

The 51-year-old hotel ad- ministrator was one of a trickle of survivors pulled from the rubble after Ecua- dor's strongest earthquake in decades flattened towns along the coast and killed at least 433 people. Cordova*s wife had given up on ever seeing him again after the five-story Gato de Portoviejo hotel collapsed on him Saturday, pancaked by the magnitude-7.8 earth- quake like the rest of down- town. She asked his boss to buy his casket. But Cordova held out for 36 hours beneath the rub- ble, drinking his own urine and praying service would be restored before his cell- phone battery died. He was finally able to call his wife on Monday afternoon, and was pulled from the wreck- age soon after by a team of rescuers from Colombia. "They were organizing the funeral, but I've been reborn," Cordova said, grinning from beneath his bushy mustache in a pro- vincial hospital. "I will have to give that coffin back be- cause I still have a long way to go before I die." On Tuesday, teams from all over the world fanned out across the country's Pa- cific coastline to look for the dozens of people still miss- ing. Residents joined in with their bare hands, in- creasingly desperate as the clock for finding survivors runs down. "Since Saturday, when this country started shak- ing, I've slept only two hours and haven't stopped work- ing," said Juan Carranza, one of the firefighters lead- ing the rescue effort in Por- toviejo. In the port city of Manta, a group of about 50 rescu- ers working with trained dogs, hydraulic jacks and a drill managed to free eight people trapped for more than 32 hours in the rubble of a shopping center that was flattened by Saturday night's quake. While the country cheered videos of such res- cues, tragedy continued to mount. At the same shopping center, authorities were working to free a woman they had found buried alive with a heavy concrete slab pinning her legs when an af- tershock forced them to sus- pend the effort. When they returned the debris pile had moved and the woman was dead, said Angel Moreira, a firefighter coordinating the effort. The government reported Tuesday that the official death count had increased to 433 and for the first time gave an estimate of the missing for the first time, putting that number at 231. That means the death toll is likely to rise in the coming days and could surpass ca- sualties from earthquakes in Chile and Peru in the past decade. Among the dead were at least nine foreign- ers, including an American and two Canadians. A nun from Northern Ire- land also died. Her Roman Catholic religious order, Ser- vant Sisters of the Home of the Mother, said Sister Clare Theresa Crockett was lead- ing a group of trainee nuns to safety at a school where she worked when a stairwell collapsed. She and five of the young postulants died. Complicating rescue ef- forts is the lack of electric- ity in many areas, meaning noisypowergeneratorsmust be used, making it harder to hear anyone who might be trapped beneath rubble. Christian Rivera, the head of emergency services for the capital, Quito, said that depending on the cir- cumstances a person with- out serious injuries can sur- vive up to a week in such conditions. "After that, there's a quick decline ... and the rescuers' work becomes very diffi- cult," he said. Foreign Minister Guil- laume Long tweeted that 654 search experts from other nations were on the ground late Monday and that more were expected to arriveTuesday—bringingto 13 the nationalities involved in the rescue. The U.S. said Tuesday it would be sending experts and $100,000 in assistance. President Rafael Correa has spent the past days tour- ing flattened towns and ac- companying missions to de- livery supplies. He said Tues- day the quake had caused $3 billion in damage, about 3 percent of gross domes- tic product, and rebuilding would take years. "It'sgoingtobealongbat- tle," he told reporters. Afteradeadlyearthquake in Chile in 2010, that South American country was able togetbackonitsfeetquickly thanks to a commodities boom that was energizing its economy. But Ecuador must rebuild amid a deep recession that has forced austerity on the OPEC na- tion's finances. Even before the quake, the International Monetary Fund was fore- casting the oil-dependent economy would shrink 4.5 percent this year.
