Hurricane Simon hitting western Mexico after tropical systems kill 5

Tropical Storm Simon formed in the Pacific Ocean off Mexico's southwestern coast and strengthened into a powerful Category 4 hurricane as it approached the country. The storm brought extremely strong winds and posed significant risks of flooding to coastal communities and tourist areas along Mexico's Pacific coast. Extreme tropical weather in the region led to at least two deaths and widespread damage in Mexico, with additional flooding concerns extending across the southwestern United States.
