SUMMARY: Hurricane Erik, a powerful Category 4 storm with winds peaking at 145 mph, is making historic landfall on Mexico’s Pacific coast near Acapulco. It intensified rapidly—doubling in strength within 18 hours—and is the first major hurricane to hit this region in June. Communities in Oaxaca are experiencing catastrophic flooding and mudslides, with the storm expected to weaken over the Sierra Madre mountains but continue dumping heavy rain. This is the second farthest east Pacific hurricane landfall in Mexico’s history. Meteorologists warn this rare event marks the beginning of an active hurricane season, with Atlantic activity expected soon.

Hurricane Erick continues to rapidly intensify and reached Category 4 strength as the extremely dangerous storm continues to approach the southern coast of Mexico in an area popular with travelers. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) said that Hurricane Erick is expected to make landfall in the western portions of the Mexican state of Oaxaca or the eastern portion of the Mexican state of Gurrero on Thursday morning, and then continue inland over Mexico during the day.
