Hurricane Odile

Hurricane Odile, the most powerful ever to strike the Baja California peninsula of Mexico, rammed into the luxury resorts of Cabo San Lucas on Monday — smashing windows, flooding roads, causing parts of hotels to collapse and injuring at least 135 people.

Tourists and local residents emerged from both shelters and once-gleaming buildings to assess the damage after the storm roared through as a Category 3 packing 125-mph wind. It weakened somewhat to Category 2 on Monday afternoon, but it continued to drop heavy rainfall that threatened to trigger mudslides, floods, especially in roadways and low-lying areas, the National Weather Commission reported.

No deaths had been reported, Luis Felipe Puente, Mexico's national civil defense coordinator, said Monday afternoon, but 135 people were treated for injuries, some from flying glass.
