Overview
- A very rapid downpour — reported at about 120 millimeters in roughly 45 minutes — caused arroyo overflows and urban flooding in Guaymas, Sonora, and San José del Cabo, Baja California Sur.
- Authorities confirmed one fatality after a taxi was swept away in Guaymas and reported at least 41 people rescued and 18 vehicles removed from currents in Los Cabos.
- Emergency teams carried out at least 12 documented rescue interventions using about 60 personnel and ambulances to reach people trapped by strong currents.
- Officials ordered preventive evacuations, including moving 356 patients and staff from an IMSS clinic in San José del Cabo to a hospital for safety.
- Authorities tied the heavy rains to Vance’s remnants and noted that El Niño-linked Pacific activity can raise flood risk, while the rapid onset exposed gaps between forecasts and local drainage capacity.
