Mexico floods leave 300,000 stranded

---

MEXICO CITY, Nov 2:(Reuters) Most of Mexico's southern state of Tabasco was underwater Thursday, as hundreds of thousands of people waited for rescuers to pull them out of their homes in the worst floods ever in the region.
The floods that began last week now cover 80 percent of Tabasco, a state about the size of Belgium, affecting about one million people and killing at least one person, officials said.
"Of the 2.1 million Tabasquenos, more than half are suffering from this serious problem that has not been experienced in the history of Tabasco," Governor Andres Granier told reporters.
