Now a Tropical Storm, Odile Drenches Baja after Slamming Mexican Resorts
By Ed Payne and Catherine E. Shoichet, CNN

GMT (0252 HKT)
After Hurricane Odile destroyed houses in Los Cabos, Mexico,
people sift through what's left on Monday, September 15. A day earlier, the
storm made landfall at the southernmost tip of Mexico's Baja California
peninsula.
(CNN) -- The once-powerful Hurricane
Odile weakened to a tropical storm as it worked its way across the Baja
California peninsula early Tuesday.
Still
packing 65 mph winds, the storm lashed the region with torrential rains and the
potential for flash flooding, according to the National Hurricane Center. Rainfall amounts of 6-12 inches
are forecast, with isolated amounts of up to 18 inches.
Odile left
a mess in its wake -- snapped palm trees, washed out roads and tapped tourists
trapped at Mexican resorts.The storm left stunned residents and tourists in its
wake.
Sarah
McKinney, who was in Cabo San Lucas on maternity leave from her job in Arkansas
when the then-Category 3 storm hit with 125 mph winds Sunday night, tweeted
photos of the wreckage Monday: the collapsed roof of a restaurant, a shuttle
van flipped over, a resort's swimming pool pushed into the ocean.
Every
car she walked by after the storm had broken windows, she wrote. The normally
pristine marina in the idyllic resort town was littered with debris."2
days ago we walked along the marina happy with not a care in the world,"
she said. "Today I'm shocked and saddened."
The powerful storm caused severe damage at the airport in
Los Cabos, Mexico's national director of civil protection said, according to
CNN affiliate FORO TV. Early Tuesday the storm was about 25 miles (40 km)
west-northwest of Santa Rosalina, Mexico, packing winds of 65 mph (100 kph) as
it headed northwest. It was expected to continue to weaken, becoming a tropical
depression on Wednesday, forecasters said.
On
Sunday, gales from Odile whipped torrents of rain ashore, chasing visitors in
popular tourist destinations into close quarters. Streets in Cabo San Lucas
were drenched. Palm trees were knocked over, and outdoor markets were trashed.
Raul Frias, from Mexico City, was at Club Regina in Cabo when he
tweeted that he felt a "great vibration" in a shelter and that
something "big was coming down."McKinney and her newborn daughter,
Madison, had already evacuated out of harm's way from their first hotel to a
second one. But even there, the room roared like a wind tunnel as Odile passed
over.
At
least 15,000 tourists were sharing McKinney's experience in Cabo, Mexican civil
defense official Luis Felipe Puente said.
She
piled up her belongings in the bathtub to protect them from the water seeping
through the door to her room. She dammed it up with a mattress, but it still
came in about an inch deep."I've cleared the beds and linen closets and
have my daughter and I held up in the bathroom," she told CNN. Then the
winds subsided. Madison fell asleep."The pressure was horrific, but now it
is eerily calm -- just how people describe when the eye passes over," she
said. But then the winds smacked the hotel
again, and McKinney headed back into the bathroom. "The
back half is definitely worse," she posted to Twitter."More debris
and stronger winds and rain. Bedroom is getting soaked from water seeping
in."
Odile
was earlier predicted to bring possibly life-threatening flash floods and
mudslides, forecasters said Sunday. Ports and beaches have been closed, and
school classes and celebrations for Mexico's Independence Day were canceled in
Baja California Sur state. Independence Day is Tuesday.
