Tropical storm Newton roared into northwestern Mexico early Wednesday, making landfall a second time after leaving two people dead in Baja California, US forecasters said.
Downgraded from a hurricane, the storm was still packing 110 kilometer-an-hour (70 miles-per-hour) winds when it swept into mainland Mexico near Bahia Kino in the state of Sonora, the US National hurricane center said.
The storm was expected to dump eight to 15 centimeters (three to six inches) of rain, before passing into the US state of Arizona later in the day, the Florida-based weather center said.
After coming ashore for the first time early on Tuesday, the storm uprooted trees and shattered windows, leaving two dead in Baja California, as thousands of tourists hunkered down in hotels in the Los Cabos resort area.
But the region, which is very popular with American and Canadian tourists, managed to escape major damage, two years after Hurricane Odile ravaged Los Cabos, killing six people and causing $1 billion damage.
“According to the latest reports, #Newton only caused minor damages in infrastructure,” President Enrique Pena Nieto wrote on Twitter, saying there were no injuries.
The storm caused a large swell that sunk a shrimp fishing boat between the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific ocean, leaving two people dead and three missing, said Los Cabos civil protection director Marco Antonio Vazquez.
The two bodies washed ashore on a beach. Vazquez said the boat had ignored warnings against going out to sea.
Vazquez said Newton’s winds took down trees and tin roofs from poorer neighborhoods but that a disaster was averted because the hurricane passed through rural, sparsely inhabited areas.
Some hotel windows broke, but 14,000 tourists in Los Cabos were “safe” in rooms made to shelter them, said state tourism secretary Genaro Ruiz Hernandez.
Some 1,500 people took refuge in shelters in the resort town but many returned home, Vazquez said.
Power was cut to parts of Los Cabos and La Paz and the phone service was also disrupted.
Police confirmed arresting five people for trying to loot two convenience stores in Los Cabos, with officers stationed outside several shops to prevent the kind of looting seen after Odile.
