Norma was downgraded to a tropical storm Sunday as it moved into mainland Mexico, while Hurricane Tammy left the Caribbean island of Barbuda with minor damage.
CABO SAN LUCAS, Mexico — Once a Category 4 hurricane, Norma came ashore Saturday as a Category 1 near the Pacific resort of Los Cabos at the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula. In Barbuda, tens of thousands were left without power there before Tammy made landfall hours later at the same strength. Norma’s winds, although weakened, continue to cause damage as the storm moved northeast, crossing the Gulf of California toward the Mexico mainland in the Sinaloa state.
In the city’s bay, 400 people remained on a ship that was transporting them from Sinaloa to Baja California Sur and was caught in the storm. They have not been able to get off the ferry because the port is still closed, said Santiago Jorge Morgado, commander of the Fourth Naval Region in La Paz. By midday Sunday, Baja California Sur authorities had not reported any fatalities and mentioned only that an Argentinean tourist had been injured.
