Impact of Storm Pamala in Mexico

Thousands of residents in the southern Mexican state of Nayarit have been affected by the consequences of Storm Pamala, a Category 1 hurricane. According to Governor Miguel Ángel Navarro Quintero, "After the storm, it has been recorded that 2,500 families, totaling 9,106 people, have suffered material damage," the statement said. No information has been received regarding casualties or injuries. Authorities are continuing to address the aftermath of the natural disaster.

The storm, which formed over the Pacific Ocean, reached the Sinaloa coast near Nayarit on the morning of October 13. As it moved inland, the cyclone weakened and turned into a tropical storm. The disaster has left approximately 210,000 consumers without power in the states of Durango, Coahuila, Nayarit, and Sinaloa.
