Hurricane Simon brings rain and flooding to Mexico's Pacific coast, 6 deaths reported

Summary

Hurricane Simon, a Category 1 storm, affected Mexico's Pacific coast with heavy rainfall and rough surf. Flooding began overnight in Ensenada, Baja California, where the worst damage occurred. Six deaths were reported across affected areas, with five missing persons also reported in Ensenada. The storm caused damage to homes and vehicles, with rescue operations ongoing. Simon's moisture later fueled severe storms across 11 U.S. states, including flash flooding warnings for over one million people in the Oklahoma City area. Cruise ships altered their itineraries to avoid the storm's path.
