MOCOA, Colombia — A grim search for the missing resumed at dawn Sunday in southern Colombia after surging rivers sent an avalanche of floodwaters, mud and debris through a small city, killing at least 200 people and leaving many more wounded and homeless. Streets were covered in thick sand, mud and tree limbs from the rivers and rainforest that surround the city. There was little drinking water and no power, which forced authorities to suspend the search and rescue effort during the night. The Air Force transported 19 patients to a city farther north and said 20 more would be evacuated soon. Once the sun began to rise he started walking toward their house but found all the streets he usually takes missing.
