Hurricane John has left a trail of devastation across southwestern Mexico, bringing severe flooding, toppling trees, and resulting in at least three deaths. As the storm moved inland, its pace slowed, allowing cleanup operations to begin. However, the threat of further flooding remains.

The storm's impact was felt across several Mexican states, damaging infrastructure and key areas such as cargo ports and popular beach resorts. Social media footage captured torrents of rain slamming into deserted streets near the Lazaro Cardenas port in Michoacan state.

In Oaxaca state, the airports at Puerto Escondido and Huatulco, both tourist hotspots, were temporarily shut. Fatalities included two victims in Tlacoachistlahuaca, Guerrero, where a mudslide buried a house, and another death in Malinaltepec. Local residents expressed concern over the urgent need for food and clothing. The National Hurricane Center warns of potential flash floods in the coming days as Hurricane John's remnants persist.
