Hurricane John slammed into Mexico’s southern Pacific coast as a powerful Category 3 storm on Monday, killing at least two people. The gusts, up to 120mph, caused widespread carnage.
Heavy rains from the storm also caused a landslide in mountainous Tlacoachistlahuaca, Guerrero and were blamed for the deaths of a woman and child. The area was heavily struck, with reports of closed roads, disconnected power lines and suspension of classes as authorities attempted to help residents in most danger areas.
Memories of last year’s destructive Category 5 Hurricane Otis are still fresh for Acapulco residents, which caused several dozen deaths. While residents across the city rode out the storm from within shelters, John’s remnants lurked close by and predictable disaster looked imminent.
Tropical Storm Helene Carries Menace of Flash Flooding
While the nation continues to recover from Hurricane John, a new menace has shown up in the Caribbean: Tropical Storm Helene. Helene is already a Category 1 hurricane, the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) said early Wednesday, and rapidly intensify over the next five days making its way toward Cancun, Riviera Maya and Tulum beaches in Mexico hoping to land as or near a Cat 4 cyclone by Thursday morning attracting the attention of southern Caribbean.-Hutsonistique
Even on the Baja, high winds and heavy rainfall could lead to flash floods and mudslides as a result of Helene; however, the storm is not forecasted to make landfall in Mexico. Military and emergency forces in the region were making preparations, sending troops and equipment to likely affected areas.
The coming together of these two powerful weather systems epitomizes the endurance to which Mexico shows in continuing to deal with the erratic and often destructive effects of hurricanes. The U.S. oftentimes gets hit by large tropical cyclones, especially those along Atlantic and Pacific coasts, so it needs to remain vigilant and pursue ways of improving its ability to respond in better ways, thus protecting public life more effectively.
Conclusion
The two storms, Hurricane John and Tropical Storm Helene, are also an in your face reminder that Mother Nature is relentless in her fury — and that more than ever Mexico must rely on a robust emergency preparedness planning to see it through the crisis. The damage from John and the potential threat of Helene now underscore that we must always continue to battle the destructive nature of hurricanes. If Mexico enacts a long-term strategy—by reinforcing infrastructure, learning from its history and improving disaster response—its people can be better safeguarded against the unpredictable wrath of these monstrous storms.
