Hurricane John Causes Severe Damage in Mexico, Death Toll Rises

Hurricane John, a once-category 3 storm, has inflicted devastating damage along Mexico's Pacific coast, particularly in Acapulco and Puerto Escondido. The storm, initially a hurricane, transformed back into a tropical storm after making landfall, yet its remnants continue to unleash heavy rainfall, leading to significant flooding and mudslides across the region. At least 22 fatalities have been reported as communities grapple with the effects, with desperate residents fleeing their homes and facing the aftermath of extensive destruction. Authorities anticipate ongoing threats of flooding as remnants of John linger, with heavy rain forecast for multiple states. As Mexico assesses the damage and begins recovery, vigilance remains high with additional storms threatening North America in the near future.
