“Hurricane Norma already passed Los Cabos and there are only torrential rains in La Paz, but without loss of life.” President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said via the platform X that there had so been no reported loss of life from the storm. It was moving north-northeast at 6 mph (9 kph), but was expected to take a harder turn toward the east Sunday.
Norma was centered about 45 miles (70 kilometers) north-northeast of Cabo San Lucas late Saturday, the National Hurricane Center said. Norma later weakened to a tropical storm with 70 mph (110 kph) winds as it crossed the Baja California Peninsula and by late Saturday it was nearing the Sea of Cortez, also known as the Gulf of California.īusinesses in Cabo San Lucas had nailed plywood over their windows, and government personnel hung banners warning people not to try to cross gullies and stream beds after Norma regained strength and again became a major storm Friday. National Hurricane Center said Norma, once a Category 4 hurricane, moved ashore with winds of 80 mph (130 kph) near el Pozo de Cota, west-northwest of Cabo San Lucas.
