Historic Hurricane Agatha touched down in Mexico's southern coast Monday as heavy storm surges and driving rains prompted fears of killer flooding and mudslides. Agatha made landfall about 5 miles west of Puerto Angel as a strong Category 2 storm around 2 p.m. PT, with maximum sustained winds of 105 mph. It was moving northeast at 8 mph.
By 5:00 pm PT, the hurricane's maximum sustained winds decreased to about 80 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center. The center of the storm is expected to continue moving inland throughout the night with "rapid weakening."
"Agatha is forecast to weaken to a tropical storm tonight, and dissipate over southeastern Mexico by late Tuesday," the hurricane center said. Agatha is the strongest hurricane ever to make landfall in May in the eastern Pacific. Up to 20 inches of rain was forecast for some areas.
