Hurricane John has led to severe flooding and landslides in southwestern Mexico, resulting in at least 22 reported deaths, primarily in Guerrero, which is the hardest-hit state. The storm initially struck as a Category 3 hurricane, causing extensive damage, particularly in Acapulco, which remains in recovery from last year's Hurricane Otis. Governor Evelyn Salgado shared images of rescue operations, while approximately 1,900 residents were evacuated and shelters have been established for those affected. The storm has resulted in electricity outages for over 102,300 people in Guerrero, and military personnel have been deployed to assist in recovery efforts.
