Hurricane Rachel Strengthens to Category 2 Off of Mexico's Pacific Coast
Mexican authorities warned of very heavy rain, landslides and flooding as the storm moved offshore with 105 mph winds, the National Hurricane Center said.
- On Thursday, Hurricane Rachel strengthened into a Category 2 cyclone off Mexico's Pacific coast, packing 105 mph winds while situated 230 miles south of Baja California.
- Meteorologists attribute the unusually active Pacific hurricane season to El Niño, which fueled crippling droughts and warmer ocean waters that create conditions for storm intensification.
- Mexican authorities warned Thursday of very heavy rain, landslides, and overflowing rivers across Baja California Sur, Sinaloa, and Jalisco as Rachel approaches the coast.
- Storm remnants drenching the central U.S. left more than 20,000 residents without power in Texas, while Omaha fire officials responded to 80 water rescues after heavy rainfall Wednesday.
- While Rachel is projected to veer west away from the Mexican coastline, the U.S. Embassy in Mexico warned citizens in Cabos San Lucas of deadly rip currents and port closures.
