This rather a sad one to my brothers and sisters in Mexico....Base on report coming from the Northern Part of America, the nation of Mexico,report has it that,A monster storm has struck the popular Mexico's vacation paradise overnight as Hurricane Odile made landfall on the southern Baja California peninsula, directly hitting Cabo San Lucas
.
In the report,Thousands of residents and tourists in Mexico's beachside towns hunkered down in shelters and hotel conference rooms as the powerful and sprawling Category 3 hurricane rolled in to an area that is home to gleaming megaresorts, tiny fishing communities and low-lying neighborhoods of flimsy homes.
Forecasters predicted a dangerous storm surge with large waves as well as drenching rains capable of causing landslides and flash floods.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said satellite imagery indicates Odile's center made landfall Sunday night at about 9:45 p.m. PDT near Cabo San Lucas. It said at landfall, Odile had estimated intensity of 125 mph, and an automated station near Cabo San Lucas reported a sustained wind of 89 mph with a gust to 116 mph. The storm was moving north-northwest at 17 mph.
so far no reports on the number of death but,source revealed that many have been displaced!
...our heart goes out to them!!
