Hurricane Odile by Trent Hagar

Original CNN Article

On Monday, a class 3 storm hit Mexico's Pacific coast. Winds reached up to 125 mph. Countless properties were destroyed, and it is hard to tell one place from another due to the mass of debris that has piled up from the wreckages of ships and buildings. Surprisingly enough, a few docks and bridges appear to have been spared. Hurricane season in the Pacific lasts from May 15th to September 30th, so the storm should have been a possibility to consider. On top of that, warnings were issued on sunday for potential flash floods and mud slides. In my opinion, People who were located in the path of the storm should have been more prepared due to the warnings and the acknowledgement of the time of year.
