Hurricane Erick Strengthens to Category 4, Threatens Southern Mexico

Southern Mexico’s Pacific coast is on high alert as Hurricane Erick intensifies to an “extremely dangerous” Category 4 storm, with maximum sustained winds of 145 mph, the US National Hurricane Center reported on Thursday.

The storm is expected to bring destructive winds, flash floods, and a dangerous storm surge as it approaches the coast.

Located about 70 miles west-southwest of Puerto Angel, Mexico, and 90 miles southeast of Punta Maldonado, Mexico, Erick is moving northwest at 9 mph.

Preparations and Warnings

Authorities have suspended all activities in the region, urging residents to stay indoors or move to shelters, especially in low-lying areas.

Residents are bracing for the impact of Erick, recalling the devastation caused by Hurricane Otis in 2023. Guerrero state Gov. Evelyn Salgado has ordered the suspension of movement in Acapulco and other beach communities.

Impact and Forecast

Forecasters predict heavy rain, strong winds, and a storm surge along Mexico’s Pacific coast. Rains of up to 16 inches may cause flooding and mudslides, especially in areas with steep terrain.

A hurricane warning is in effect from Acapulco to Puerto Ángel, with preparations for evacuation and storm protection underway.

Mexico’s national civil defense coordinator warns of “torrential” rains in southern Mexico, emphasizing the need for caution and adherence to government instructions.

Rapid Intensification

Erick’s rapid intensification has raised concerns, with the storm doubling in strength in a short period. The hurricane center notes an increase in incidents of rapid intensification, affecting forecasting accuracy.

As Erick continues to strengthen, residents and authorities are urged to stay vigilant and take necessary precautions to minimize the storm’s impact.
