The U.S. National Hurricane Center says Hurricane Grace is centered back over water after striking Mexico's Caribbean coast earlier Thursday. It is regaining strength and heading back for a collision with the Mexican mainland late Friday or early Saturday.
A road sign brought down by the winds of Hurricane Grace straddles one lane of a highway in Tulum, Quintana Roo state, Mexico, Thursday, Aug. 19, 2021. The Category 1 storm made landfall at 4:45 a.m., just south of the ancient Mayan temples of Tulum, pelting the Caribbean coast with heavy rain and pushing a dangerous storm surge.
The Category 1 storm had already soaked earthquake-damaged Haiti, Jamaica and the Cayman Islands en route to a direct hit on the Riviera Maya, the heart of Mexico’s tourism industry. Grace’s center struck just south of Tulum with maximum sustained winds of 80 mph , according to the Hurricane Center. “The only thing I have left is what I’m wearing,” the 35-year-old construction worker said. “I knew my house wasn’t going to stand it because it’s made of cardboard. When the wind came I was really scared and decided to leave.”
Many streets were blocked by fallen limbs and trees that pulled down power lines, leaving thousands in the dark.
