Hurricane Erick threatening Mexico as it strengthens

Hurricane Erick, a Category 2 storm, is set to become a major Category 3 hurricane as it approaches Mexico's Pacific coast with potentially destructive winds and flash floods. Mexican authorities are warning residents to stay indoors and be prepared for the storm's impact. President Claudia Sheinbaum has urged people in at-risk areas to follow official communications and seek shelter in the 2,000 shelters set up across southern Mexico. The storm is expected to make landfall between Oaxaca and Guerrero, bringing heavy rainfall and mudslide risks to the region.
