Tropical storm hits Mexico coast | |
(1 day later) | |
Tropical storm Paul has hit the coast of the Mexican mainland after skirting around the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula. | |
It came ashore near La Reforma on the western coast, after being downgraded from hurricane status. | |
Earlier, Paul lashed the resort of Los Cabos on the peninsula with heavy rain and winds of nearly 30mph (45km/h). | |
Paul could still cause flash flooding after it dumps rain on the Sierra Madre mountains, forecasters say. | |
Tropical storm Paul, which reached winds of 110 mph (177km/h) on Monday, has reportedly killed two people. | |
A 65-year-old American man was swept off a beach at Los Cabos by a wave and is presumed dead, US officials told Reuters news agency. | |
A 23-year-old Mexican fisherman is also said to have died on Monday after slipping off wet rocks. | A 23-year-old Mexican fisherman is also said to have died on Monday after slipping off wet rocks. |
