  "account": "Mexico's Pacific coast experienced devastating flooding and landslides as Hurricane Simon and Tropical Storm Rachel's remnants combined, raising the death toll to six. Hurricane Simon, a Category 1 storm, continued to move slowly along the coast, bringing heavy rain to Nayarit and Sinaloa states. In Guerrero, heavy rain from the storm killed one person earlier in the week. Meanwhile, the storm's outer bands caused widespread destruction in coastal towns, downing trees and electricity poles, blocking roads and flooding homes. At least four people died in Baja California due to the impact of post-tropical cyclone Rachel, with many more injured and left homeless. The Mexican military and thousands of federal and state personnel were deployed to assist affected residents and respond to the emergency.",
  "summary": "Hurricane Simon continued to move slowly up the coast of west-central Mexico after tropical weather systems caused six deaths and damage in Pacific coastal towns and resorts.",
