Hurricane John has rapidly intensified, impacting Mexico's south-western coast already drenched by days of rainfall, leading to significant mudslides that have claimed lives.
Meteorologist Jesse Ferrell dubbed John a 'zombie storm,' as it weakened and strengthened during its slow, menacing approach, showing the unpredictable nature of tropical systems.
Atmospheric scientist Christopher Rozoff explained that John's slow movement is caused by a lack of large-scale steering forces, allowing it to reintensify and exacerbate regional flooding.
Guerrero's Governor, Evelyn Salgado Pineda, emphasized the need for residents to take precautions as rising tides and heavy rains led to severe flooding, further complicating recovery efforts.
