The colossus of wind and rain unleashes its fury in the south
Like a wounded but still dangerous titan, Hurricane Erick roared over the land of Guerrero, demoted to category 1 but with claws still sharp. The National Water Commission revealed in a solemn voice that this atmospheric monster had its epicenter just 50 km from Punta Maldonado, spitting out winds of 140 km/h that transformed into demonic howls of 165 km/h in its outbursts of fury.
A deadly dance to the northwest
The beast advances relentlessly at 19 km/h, tracing a path of destruction while dragging with it an entourage of torrential rains that will drown Guerrero and Oaxaca. Chiapas, Veracruz and Puebla will not escape its wrath, receiving downpours that will make the earth shake. The coasts will groan under waves of 5 meters, as tall as buildings, while the wind whistles its song of destruction between broken palm trees and torn off roofs.
From Acapulco, that paradise now converted into a battlefield against the elements, to Puerto Escondido, where the sea churns like a chained beast, a danger zone extends where life hangs by a thread. The fishermen hide their boats, the children hug their mothers, and the sky, that traitor of lost blue, turns lead gray.
What secrets does this cyclone still hide in its turbulent heart? Will the earth be able to resist his wet and violent kiss? While the authorities monitor every movement of this capricious giant, the people wait behind boarded-up windows, holding their breath, knowing that nature never asks permission to write tragedies.
