ai generated text
Hurricane John made landfall in Mexico's southern coast, specifically in the state of Oaxaca, which is a popular tourist destination known for its beautiful landscapes and beaches. The storm underwent rapid intensifications, strengthening from a Category 1 to a Category 3 storm in a 24-hour period. A hurricane warning was issued from east of Acapulco to Bahas de Huatulco along the Pacific coast. The storm is expected to bring flash floods and storm surges, with the potential to strengthen into a major hurricane before making landfall. The storm's current location is 50 miles south of Punta Maldonado, moving north at 6mph.
It's very important that all citizens in the coastal zone … take preventive measures.
Damaging hurricane-force winds, life-threatening storm surge, and flash flooding are ongoing.
Rapid intensification has occurred more frequently in modern times as opposed to back in the historical record. So that's telling us there's something going on there.
These are storms that we haven't really experienced before.
