Suben a 7 los muertos por el ciclón Rachel en Baja California

El número de personas fallecidas ha ascendido a siete tras paso del ciclón Rachel por el estado de Baja California, noroeste del país, entre ellos un menor de edad, después de que las autoridades localizaran este martes los cuerpos de otras tres personas.

Autoridades municipales, estatales y federales, a cargo de las labores de búsqueda tras las intensas lluvias provocadas por la tormenta tropical Rachel, informaron del hallazgo de una mujer, un hombre y un menor sin vida en la localidad Maneadero, para sumar siete cuerpos localizados.

En un reporte oficial se indicó que las víctimas fueron identificadas como Keyla, de 30 años; Valentín, de 51 años; y Gael Gustavo Terán Burgos, de 14 años, con este último suman cinco los integrantes de la familia Burgos localizados sin vida.

Tropical Storm Rachel made landfall in Baja California, Mexico last week, about 90 miles southeast of San Diego, after peaking as a Category 3 hurricane. But for Southern California’s beaches, Rachel was just the latest blow in a string of historic storms in the eastern Pacific, and its impact was amplified by a Kelvin wave that raised sea levels in some areas by over a foot. Since early September, Hurricanes Marie, Polo, and Rachel have hammered Southern California’s coast. In Long Beach, their combined force collapsed a section of the historic boardwalk, red-tagging eight buildings and prompting mandatory evacuations. In Newport Beach, a swell that nearly doubled its predicted size broke through 20-foot berms and sent seawater into the streets. And after a full summer of El Niño-fueled storms and tides, beaches in North County San Diego, San Onofre, San Clemente, and Laguna Beach have been dramatically eroded, along with safe access to them. With a strong El Niño underway, this won’t be the last extreme swell and erosion event of the season. Quick fixes like sandbags and hard armoring can buy a little time, but often at the cost of the beach itself. Coastal communities need long-term resilience planning long before the next storm hits — plans that work with nature to protect the future of our beaches and adapt before conditions become dire.
