Hurricane Erick, an upgraded Category 4 storm, is nearing landfall on Southern Mexico's Pacific coast, specifically threatening Puerto Escondido. With maximum sustained winds of 145 mph, forecasters warn of destructive winds, flash floods, and a dangerous storm surge. President Claudia Sheinbaum has suspended regional activities, advising residents to remain indoors or seek shelters. Preparations are underway, with local fishermen securing boats and stores closing amid rising tides. The shift in the storm's path may provide some relief to the previously affected Acapulco region, which was recently devastated by severe weather conditions.
