John as a tropical storm hits Mexico’s Pacific coast a 2nd time

Associated Press  

MEXICO CITY — Tropical Storm John made its second landfall along Mexico’s Pacific coast Friday, while in its wake authorities in the resort city of Acapulco called for help from anyone with a boat to deal with the flooding. John came ashore near Tizupan in Michoacan state Friday with sustained winds of 45 mph after making its initial landfall farther east on the coast on Monday as a Category 3 hurricane. The flooding is so bad in Acapulco — which still hasn’t recovered from Hurricane Otis last October — that the head of the municipal civil defense agency said authorities were starting to use boats inside the city to rescue people from low-lying neighborhoods. Residents drive past power lines damaged during the passing of Hurricane John, in Acapulco, Mexico, Friday, Sept. 27, 2024.
