PUERTO VALLARTA, Mexico (AFP) — Powerful Hurricane Simon, a Category 3 storm on the five-point Saffir-Simpson scale, has left one person dead and caused property damage as it moved slowly along Mexico’s Pacific coast, authorities said Monday.
The victim was a 71-year-old man who “died when a wall collapsed in Chilpancingo” in the southern state of Guerrero, Governor Evelyn Salgado said during the daily presidential press conference.
The storm has threatened more severe destruction, but its winds weakened as it interacted with the mountains during its slow progress along the coast.
