Tropical Storm Agatha is seen off Mexico’s Pacific coast on May 28, 2022, in this NOAA satellite image. NOAA Hurricane Agatha, the season’s first, headed for a stretch of tourist beaches and fishing towns on Mexico’s southern Pacific coast Monday amid warnings of dangerous storm surges and flooding from heavy rains. After forming on Sunday, Agatha quickly gained power and was predicted to make landfall as a powerful Category 3 hurricane Monday afternoon or evening, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said. It was moving toward the area near Puerto Escondido and Puerto Angel in the southern state of Oaxaca – a region that includes the laid-back tourist resorts of Huatulco, Mazunte and Zipolite. The hurricane center said Agatha could “bring an extremely dangerous storm surge and life-threatening winds.” Early Monday, Agatha had maximum sustained winds of 110 mph – just 1 mph under the threshold for a Category 3, the hurricane center said. The storm’s center was about 100 miles southwest of Puerto Angel and heading to the northeast at 6 mph. The civil defense office in Oaxaca said the hurricane’s outer bands were already hitting the coast Sunday. The office published photos of fishermen hauling their boats up on beaches to protect them from the storm. Municipal authorities in Huatulco ordered “the absolute closure” of all the resort’s beaches and its famous “seven bays,” many of which are reachable only by boat. They also closed local schools and began setting up emergency storm shelters. To the east in Zipolite, long known for its clothing-optional beach and bohemian vibe, personnel at the small Casa Kalmar hotel gathered up outdoor furniture and put up wooden storm shutters to prevent strong winds from blowing out glass windows and doors. “The biggest worry here is the wind,” hotel manager Silvia Ranfagni said. With only one guest – and plenty of cancellations due to the hurricane – Ranfagni planned to ride out Agatha at the property, which is three or four blocks from the beach. “I’m going to shut myself in here with my animals,” she said, referring to her dog and cats. The government’s Mexican Turtle Center – a former slaughterhouse turned conservation center in Mazunte – announced it was closed to visitors until further notice because of the hurricane. The hurricane center said the storm was expected to drop 10 to 16 inches of rain on parts of Oaxaca, with isolated maximums of 20 inches, posing the threat of flash floods and mudslides.
