24 minutes ago Mexico 🆘 Monstrous flood and hurricane leaves no chance for the whole country!

Hurricane Lidia ripped through Mexico’s mountainous landscape and dissipated in the morning, just hours after the monster made landfall south of the popular resort city of Puerto Vallarta as a Category 4 hurricane with 140 mph winds. . The agency is reporting at least one hurricane-related death in the western state of Nayarit, and forecasters say torrential rains and gusty winds will continue to threaten the region, raising the risk of flash flooding and landslides. Footage from Puerto Vallarta and Nayarit showed palm trees bent nearly in half by damaging winds as torrential rain lashed the region as the storm made landfall. Authorities in Nayarit were busy clearing roads of trees and debris, with more than 100 people seeking shelter in shelters while the hurricane hit the area, according to reports. Lydia struggled to reach hurricane status for several days as it approached the west-central coast of Mexico, and finally became a Category 1 hurricane. The storm then strengthened rapidly during the day and reached Category 4 status shortly before landfall south of Puerto Vallarta, near Las Peñitas in Jalisco. The Category 4 hurricane was the most powerful cyclone to hit Mexico since Hurricane Patricia in 2015, which had winds of about 150 miles per hour, and Lidia is currently the third most powerful hurricane to make landfall in the Pacific Ocean in recorded history. The storm surge left coastal communities under several feet of water, while the threat of flash flooding and mudslides remained inland. The National Hurricane Center said the remnants of Lydia could bring an additional 2 to 4 inches of rain to parts of western Mexico during the day. bringing storm surge to 12 inches in some areas. According to Mexico’s National Meteorological Service, gusty winds will continue along the coast, and waves of up to 10 feet are possible along the coasts of Colima, Guerrero, Jalisco and Michoacan.
