Hurricane Otis interrupted tropical vacations for some visitors and put a stop to a mining convention in Acapulco, Mexico, as the storm bore down on the city early Wednesday. Among the travelers affected was David Hall, 34, who had arrived on Tuesday from Colima, a city about 300 miles northwest of Acapulco. Mr. Hall works in sales and was in Acapulco for the mining convention. “The wind was so strong, it was so much noise,” Mr. Hall said in an interview. The wind was really, really fast.”He compared the swaying of the hotel where he was staying, the Princess Mundo Imperial, to a “small earthquake,” adding, “It’s a very apocalyptic picture here.”

The maximum sustained wind speed remained unchanged at 85 mph while spreading "heavy rains" northward over the peninsula. Jamie Rhome Director, U.S. National Hurricane CenterIt was not immediately clear whether officials considered the fatality related to the hurricane, but video posted by local officials showed torrents of water coursing through the town's streets. Forecasters said the storm was still expected to enter the history books as the first tropical storm to hit Southern California in 84 years, bringing flash floods, mudslides, isolated tornadoes, high winds and power outages. Hilary brought heavy rain and flooding to Mexico and the southwestern U.S. on Saturday, ahead of the storm's expected Sunday border crossing. Forecasters warned it could dump up to 10 inches (25 centimeters) — a year's worth of rain for some areas — in southern California and southern Nevada.

Proteccion Civil Estatal Colima (PC_Colima) via X/Handout via REUTERS/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsCompanies Estado de Baja California FollowMEXICO CITY, Aug 18 (Reuters) - Category 4 Hurricane Hilary was rushing toward Mexico's Baja California peninsula on Friday morning, a U.S. government agency said, though it should weaken before hitting the U.S. Pacific coast this weekend. The powerful storm is threatening parts of Mexico and the south-western United States with "significant flooding" and prompted the country's National Hurricane Center (NHC) to issue its first ever tropical storm watch for California. Hilary is expected to approach the west coast of Mexico's Baja California as a hurricane this weekend but weaken to a tropical storm before hitting the U.S. state on Sunday afternoon. Rhome said California and southern Nevada faced risks from severe flooding caused by up to 10 inches of rainfall. A storm surge could cause coastal flooding and destructive waves along the Baja California peninsula, the NHC said.

☆ 6.8-magnitude earthquake strikes Mexico, killing one

A 6.8-magnitude earthquake hit southwest Mexico early Thursday, killing at least one person, days after another deadly quake. Officials in Mexico City, the capital, confirmed that a woman had died in a fall at her home in the Colonia Doctores neighborhood. The tremor closely follows a 7.6-magnitude earthquake that hit Mexico on Monday, the anniversary of two other major earthquakes. An earthquake on Sept. 19, 1985, caused thousands of deaths, while another quake on the same date in 2017 killed more than 350 people. The earthquake on Monday damaged many buildings in Mexico City, causing a blackout in parts of the capital and at least two deaths.
☆ 'No, not again!': In Mexico, 3 powerful earthquakes have struck the same day

Three powerful earthquakes have struck Mexico on Sept. 19 — in 1985, 2017 and now 2022. The last two quakes also came very shortly after the annual earthquake drill conducted every Sept. 19 to commemorate the devastating 1985 temblor. On the morning of Sept. 19, 1985, an 8.0 magnitude earthquake devastated the center, south and west of the country, leaving some 9,500 dead. “It’s really strange, but a lot of people already don’t like that day,” said Jorge Ornelas, a call center coordinator. Monday’s earthquake was the result of the “interaction of the Cocos plate with the North America plate,” which also generated the 1985 earthquake.

MEXICO CITY — A magnitude 7.6 earthquake shook Mexico’s central Pacific coast on Monday, killing at least one person and setting off a seismic alarm in the rattled capital on the anniversary of two earlier devastating quakes. People remain in the street after an earthquake in Mexico City on Sept. 19, 2022. The U.S. Tsunami Warning Center said that hazardous tsunami waves were possible for coasts within 186 miles of the epicenter. Humberto Garza stood outside a restaurant in Mexico City’s Roma neighborhood holding his 3-year son.
