After lashing Mexico’s southern Pacific coast earlier this week, Tropical
Storm John is on track to strengthen into a hurricane, and slam again into the
Mexican mainland. That's according to the US National Hurricane Center on
Wednesday. In Oaxaca, locals were wading through floodwaters from John's
initial hit. Several people were killed from floods and landslides. A
resident, Felix Herrera, said people lost many crops like corn and papaya, and
their belongings in the floodwaters. Soldiers and national guard workers
cleared the road from debris, rocks and tree trunks. Storm John moved back
into the Pacific Ocean early Wednesday. While it battered Guerrero's southern
Costa Chica region on Tuesday, John is now forecast to hit its northern
coastline, the Costa Grande. Mexico's government on Wednesday issued a
hurricane warning for communities on its Pacific coast. State authorities said
thousands of homes in the resort city of Acapulco were at risk. And people in
low-lying areas should immediately move to shelters. Last year, Acapulco was
devastated by Hurricane Otis, which killed more than 50 people and left some
$15 billion in damages
