LOS CABOS , Mexico, Sept. 16 (UPI) -- Hurricane Odile brought floods, winds and washed-out roads to resort areas in Mexico's Baja California. The Category 2 hurricane made landfall Sunday with 100 mph winds at the southernmost end of the peninsula, and eased by Monday, with witnesses surveying the significant damage. The crowded resort town of Los Cabos was particularly hard-hit, and local officials said many of the 26,000 tourists and 4,000 permanent residents of the town were evacuated. Authorities are warning of landslides and flooding as the storm moves northwest.
"The whole place is devastated, windows are trashed, trees and electricity poles are down," Mauricio Balderrama, manager of the Cabo Surf Hotel and Spa in San Jose del Cabo said.
