Eric falls in southern Mexico as hurricanes of 3 category

The National Center for Hurricane in Miami said that the strong hurricane Eric landed in the southern state of Oaxaka in Mexico early Thursday.

The hurricane center is about 30 kilometers east of Punta Maldonado. The maximum sustainable wind was recorded at an altitude of 205 km/h. The Hurricane Center said it was moving northwest at a height of 15 km/hour.

The storm was slightly reduced before it fell, from 4 to 3 category. While the decline in power is still considered a large hurricane as a 3 category, which can carry winds of up to 210 km/h.

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 predictors said that the storm threatened to launch the destroyed winds, sudden floods and increase the dangerous storm.

The storm moves south when the approach

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 south, near the city of Puerto Eskondoido in the state of Oakaka, with Aksabolco on the coast to the northwest.

Mexican 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.

Acapulco is still delegated by OTIS

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 approximately one million in October 2023 was destroyed by Hurricane Otis, a Hurricane of Category 5, which quickly intensified 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 via X that all the movement in Aquolco and other beach communities were to be suspended at 8 pm local time 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 drawn,” she said, carrying a bag of canned food.

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 rain may be the legacy of Eric

Laura Villazkuiz, the National Civil Defense Coordinator in Mexico, said Eric is expected to bring “food” rain to Ghairo, 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.
