Tropical Storm John struck Mexico’s southern Pacific coast with life-threatening flood potential after growing into a major hurricane in a matter of hours. It came ashore near the town of Punta Maldonado late Monday night as a Category 3 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 120 mph.

Hurricane John fell apart as quickly as it formed but left destruction along Mexico’s southern Pacific coast, including deadly mudslides and flooding that may linger
