West Coast of Mexico faces potential destruction from Hurricane Lorena, bringing intense rainfall and powerful winds
Hurricane Lorena, currently a Category 1 storm, is making its way towards the Mexican coast, according to the US National Hurricane Center in Miami. As of now, the hurricane is located 120 miles south of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
The centre forecasts that Lorena will bring significant rainfall primarily to the Mexican state of Baja California Sur, including popular vacation areas such as Cabo San Lucas. Heavy rain could potentially cause flash floods and mudslides along Mexico's west coast in the coming days.
The storm is expected to move parallel to the coast before making landfall, with widespread rain expected across parts of Mexico. A tropical storm warning has been issued for the region, and the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami is forecasting heavy rain up to 15 inches for Hurricane Lorena.
On the other hand, Hurricane Kiko, a Category 2 storm, is not making any immediate threat to land. As of now, Kiko is located 1,700 miles east of Hawaii. The storm's track is still uncertain, and no specific location for either hurricane's potential landfall has been mentioned.
Despite its distance, widespread rain is expected in Arizona and New Mexico due to the influence of Hurricane Lorena. Conversely, Hurricane Lorena is expected to strengthen in the next 24 hours, while Hurricane Kiko is expected to become a major hurricane by Wednesday.
It's important to note that no specific information about the potential impact on the U.S. coastline is provided in the text. The storm's track is still uncertain, and residents are advised to stay updated on the latest forecasts and warnings from their local weather authorities.
