Hurricane Erick has slammed into southern Mexico’s Oaxaca coast with devastating 205 km/h winds after intensifying overnight into a Category 4 storm. Torrential rain, deadly mudslides, and life-threatening floods are feared across Oaxaca, Guerrero, and Chiapas. President Sheinbaum has urged citizens to stay indoors, as over 2,000 shelters open and 18,000 responders mobilize. Coastal areas face storm surges and flash flooding, while mountain towns risk catastrophic mudslides. Residents still reeling from Hurricane Otis fear another deadly disaster as Erick tears inland.
