Hurricane Eric makes a decline in southern Mexico as Storm 3 – National

strong tornado The National Hurricane Center in Miami said that Eric achieved a decline in the southern state of Oaxaka in Mexico early Thursday.

The hurricane center is about 20 miles (30 km) east of Punta Maldonado. The maximum sustainable wind was recorded at 125 miles per hour (205 km per hour). The Hurricane Center said it was moving northwest at a speed of 9 miles per hour (15 km per hour).

The storm was slightly reduced before it reaches land, from the powerful category 4 to category 3. While a slight decrease in power, Eric is still a major hurricane like 3 category, which can bear winds of 129 mph (210 kilos per hour).

The storm linked the needle between the ACAPULCO and Puerto EsCondido resorts, tearing it into an intermittent extension of the coastal line near the borders of Oaxaka and Ghweiro. Agricultural fields lower coastal area between small hunting villages.

The Hurricane Center said that Eric is expected to weaken quickly because it collides with coastal mountains in southern Mexico, and the regime is likely to dissipate late Thursday or early on Friday.

The experts said that the storm threatened to launch the destroyed winds near the place where the eye is disrupted to the beach, sudden floods, and the height of the dangerous storm.

In the first light of Thursday, ACAPULCO woke up under fateful dark clouds, but without a drop of rain and small waves turning on its central beach.

However, the storm was expected to move only northwest to the top of the coast until midday, bringing heavy rains to the resort and mountains that he greatly exceeded.

However, Aquapolco seemed to escape at least the worst in terms of Eric winds.

Late Wednesday, Eric’s expected path had infiltrated the south, near the city of Puerto Eskondoido in the state of Oakaka with Aksabolco over the coast to the northwest.

President Claudia Shinbom said in a video message on Wednesday night that all activities in the region have been suspended and urged people to stay in their homes or move to shelters if they live in low areas.

The waves were shattered on Esplanade in Porto Eskondoido through darkness, as the wooden fishing boats that were pulled there were flooded for safety. The beach disappeared under the bombing waves and the upward tide had already reached the interiors of some water restaurants.

The purchases ended at the last minute in darkness when the stores closed and emptied the streets.

Earlier in the day, the fishermen in Porto Eskondido withdrew their boats from the water before the storm arrived. Some surfing surfers continued on Zicatela beach, even with red flags to warn people against staying outside the water.

Akapolco residents prepared for Eric’s arrival with more preparation and fear due to the anniversary of the destruction caused by Hurricane Otis two years ago.

The city of nearly a million people was destroyed in October 2023 Hurricane OtisHurricane 5 category that has intensified quickly and caught a lot of preparation. At least 52 people died in Otis and a storm that all resort hotels were severely damaged.

The governor of Guerreen Evelyn Seljado said that all the movement in Aquolco and other beach communities were to be suspended at 8 pm on Wednesday. Schools throughout the state will remain closed for the second day Thursday.

Carlos Ozona Romero, 51, has been restaurant on the edge of Aquapolco Beach when Oteis criticized the resort with the destroyed wind. On Wednesday, workers were taken out to store tables and chairs.

“The authorities’ warnings fill us with fear, and it is clear that we can remember everything we have already gone through,” said Ozuna Romero, referring to Otis.

Elsewhere, the workers have bombed leaves of plywood over the windows of stores and sand bags stacked outside the entrances. Cars lined up to fill their tanks, and shoppers performed purchases at the last minute before rushing at home.

Verónica Gómez struggled on the streets of ACAPULCO with a large water jug. “We are all afraid because we believe that the same thing can happen,” said 40 -year -old at a shipping company.

But she said that she and others learned a lot from Otis. “Now it will not be attracted by surprise,” she said, carrying a bag of canned foods as evidence.

In ACAPULCO on Wednesday, there was a strong presence of the National Guard and the police in the streets, but most of them were trucks from the National Energy Company. The crews removed the channels and the sewage.

The predictors of Eric from the Pacific Coast of Mexico expected with heavy rains, strong winds and a fierce storm. The advice told the center that the rain of 16 inches (40 cm) can fall through the Mexican states in Oxaka and Jeriro, with less beautiful in Chapas, Michoan, Kulima and Galisco. Rain threatened floods and clay collapses, especially in areas with highly slope terrain.

Laura Villazkuiz, the National Civil Defense Coordinator in Mexico, said Eric is expected to bring “heavy” rains to Guerro, Okaka and Shaybas in southern Mexico. The mountainous area along the coast is especially vulnerable to clay collapses with many rivers at risk of flooding.

The port of Aquapolco closed on Tuesday evening. Saljado said 582 shelters have been appointed to receive people who might evacuate their homes through Guerrero.

After the force multiplied in less than a day, Eric was wandering in an ideal environment for rapid condensation. Last year, there were 34 accidents of rapid condensation – when the storm gained at least 35 miles per hour in 24 hours – which is nearly twice the number of average and causes prediction problems, according to the hurricane center.
