Hurricane Erick hits Mexico’s Pacific coast like a powerful cat storm 3

Hurricane Erick, who intensified rapidly during the night, touched earth on Thursday morning on the Pacific coast of Mexico as a powerful storm of category 3, said the National Hurricane Center of the United States (NHC).

Erick came to land in the western state of Oaxaca of Mexico in the sustained winds of 125 mph and heavy rains, according to the NHC.

The hurricane was on Thursday morning about 20 miles east of Punta Maldonado and moved to the northwest to approximately 9 mph, according to the NHC.

Before pulling the ground, the Erick had taken a storm of category 4 “extremely dangerous” on the wind scale of Hurricane Saffir-Simpson, but was degraded to a cat 3 before throwing earth, the NHC center reported.

Erick is the first hurricane of category 3 of the Pacific recorded in throwing land on Mexico in June.

A hurricane warning remained in force on Acapulco Thursday to Puerto Angel.

It was not clear if the villages along the populated coast of the Pacific of Mexico had been damaged. There have been no immediate reports of deaths or injuries.

The main hurricane seemed to reach the coast between the tourist cities of Acapulco and Puerto hidden in an area near the border of the states of Oaxaca and Guerrero, according to the NHC.

As the state of Oaxaca crosses, Erick is expected to hit parts of the region with strong winds and heavy rains during most Thursday before weakening on the earth on Friday.

Erick will produce strong rainfall up to 6 to 8 inches in the southeast of Guerrero and Oaxaca-Western until Friday and probably trigger sudden floods and potentially mortal land landslides, especially in areas of steep terrain.

Erick formed as a tropical storm at dawn on Tuesday in the Pacific Ocean, near southern Mexico and quickly intensified, reaching the strength of the hurricane on Wednesday, according to the NHC.
