BLOOMBERG/ Rescuers are searching a hillside in San Jose's suburb of San Antonio de Escazu after a landslide there killed at least 22 people with 27 more missing.
The landslide resulted from two days of heavy rains that flooded a river near the town and sent nearly 600 people to shelters in nearby San Jose. The area received 6.3 inches (161 millimeters) of rain in just two hours.
