STORY: Hurricane Erick continued to batter Mexico's Guerrero coast with heavy rainfall and flooding on Thursday (June 19), even as the storm weakened after making landfall as a major hurricane along the country's southern Pacific shoreline.

The weakened storm left a trail of damaged businesses and flooded streets across Guerrero state, with residents surveying the aftermath as authorities warned that Erick's intense rains remained dangerous.

At La Bocana beach, vehicles navigated flooded streets as the storm's persistent rainfall continued to pose flooding risks throughout the region. Beach restaurants and coastal businesses bore the brunt of the hurricane's impact, with branches scattered along the shoreline.

Mexico's civil protection agency confirmed that no deaths were immediately reported from the hurricane, though officials continued to warn residents about ongoing risks from the heavy rainfall as the storm moves inland.
