Hurricane Simon hitting western Mexico after tropical systems kill 6
Hurricane Simon and the remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel have killed six people along Mexico's Pacific coast. Simon moved slowly along the west-central coast, unloading wind and rain that triggered floods and evacuations in coastal towns and resorts. The system eventually weakened to a tropical storm and stalled 270 miles off Cabo San Lucas, leading officials to drop all coastal warnings. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Trudy has formed in the Pacific Ocean, presenting a new tropical threat to the region.
