Hurricane Odile batters Mexico

AFP

Looters ransacked shops in Mexico’s Los Cabos beach Monday, September 15, after Hurricane Odile destroyed homes, flooded streets and wrecked hotels packed with tourists. Odile crashed ashore Sunday, September 14, packing winds of 205 kilometers (125 miles) an hour, tearing down trees and power lines and ripping roofs off homes in Mexico’s Baja California peninsula. It was listed as category 3 hurricane in the five-scale Saffir-Simpson scale, but weakened to a category one Monday as winds slowed to 20 kilometers (13 miles) an hour. Even as the storm moved up the peninsula, the US Hurricane Center warned of more heavy rainfall and flooding.
