Cabo Tropical Storm Lidia Aftermath
Sept 9, 2017
Tropical Storm Lidia hammered Cabo early last Friday dumping a total of 27 inches of rain over several days, killing seven with 13 missing. It is expected the toll will go higher.
Authorities say the death toll could rise as they survey the damage and the flood waters recede.
State Tourism Secretary Luis Genaro Ruiz told the Washington Post that 20,000 tourists were stranded after airlines suspended flights to the area. 1,400 people reportedly occupied the area’s storm shelters.
At least two of the storm’s victims were electrocuted by downed power lines, while others were swept away trying to cross flooded areas.
Baja California Sur Governor Carlos Mendoza said it was, “the largest amount of water we have had since 1933.”
According to reports, flood waters ripped a baby out of a mother’s arms when she tried to cross a flooded area.
And while the extent of the devastation pales in comparison to the city of Houston that continues to reel from Hurricane Harvey – and the eastern seaboard waits with bated breath to see what will come of Hurricane Irma – major weather events like these remind us that major weather events know no borders. Climate change knows no borders.
