STORYLINE:
The Mexican resort of Acapulco awoke on Thursday under dark clouds, but without a drop of rain and small waves lapping at its central beach.
A few beachgoers even ventured to go out, and workers could be seen boarding up the windows of a local mall. Still, it appeared Acapulco had dodged the worst at least in terms of Erick’s strong winds.
However, the storm was forecast to move northwest just inland up the coast through midday, bringing heavy rain to the resort and the mountains that tower dramatically above it.
The powerful Hurricane made landfall in Mexico’s southern state of Oaxaca early on the day, the National Hurricane Center in Miami said, but there was no immediate report of injuries.
The hurricane’s center was located about 20 miles (30 kilometers) east of Punta Maldonado.
The storm was downgraded slightly before making landfall, from a powerful Category 4 to a Category 3. While slightly reduced in power, Erick is still considered a major hurricane as a Category 3, which can carry winds of up to 129 mph (210 kph).
