Hurricane Simón: Mexico Landfall, US Flooding, Rachel Impacts
Hurricane Simón made landfall on Mexico's Pacific coast, initially as a catastrophic storm, subsequently weakening to Category 1 while causing at least one fatality and significant damage across 20 municipalities in Guerrero. Its residual moisture is forecast to bring severe storms and flooding to Texas and the U.S. Southwest, amplified by the 'Super Niño' pattern. Concurrently, Post-Tropical Storm Rachel caused four deaths in northwestern Mexico before moving into California, exacerbating flood and landslide risks.
