October 23, 2022

Introduction:
(Axioss) Hurricane Roslyn has killed at least two people after making landfall near Santa Cruz on Mexico's west coast as a Category 3 storm on Sunday, local authorities said.

The latest: "Lingering heavy rainfall from the remnants of Roslyn could lead to flooding and possible landslides in areas of rugged terrain over coastal west-central Mexico," the National Hurricane Center said in an update at 10pm ET.

Driving the news: Roslyn was packing maximum sustained winds of about 120 miles per hour when it made landfall on Sunday, according to the National Hurricane Center.

• It was unleashing "damaging winds, a life-threatening storm surge and flooding rains" as it moved inland over west-central Mexico later in the morning, the NHC said.

Of note: Roslyn became the strongest eastern Pacific hurricane to hit Mexico since Hurricane Patricia struck the country on Oct. 23, 2015.

At least 24 dead in Bangladesh from tropical storm

By JULHAS ALAM
DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) — A tropical storm that lashed Bangladesh left at least 24 people dead and about 8 million without power across the delta nation, officials and news reports said Tuesday.

The government said about 10,000 homes were damaged and more than 6,000 hectares (15,000 acres) of crops were destroyed. Thousands of fishing projects were also washed away.

The United News of Bangladesh news agency said about 20,000 people were marooned because of flooding triggered by tidal surges in the southern coastal district of Bhola.

Tropical Storm Sitrang brewed in the Bay of Bengal before turning north toward Bangladesh’s vast coast, prompting authorities to evacuate hundreds of thousands of people to cyclone shelters Monday. Heavy rains battered the country throughout the day, flooding many areas in the coastal regions across southern and southwestern Bangladesh.

Over 100 dead, dozens missing in storm-ravaged Philippines

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — More than 100 people have died in one of the most destructive storms to lash the Philippines this year with dozens more feared missing after villagers fled in the wrong direction and got buried in a boulder-laden mudslide. Almost two million others were swamped by floods in several provinces, officials said Monday.

At least 53 of 105 people who died — mostly in flash floods and landslides — were from Maguindanao province in a Muslim autonomous region, which was swamped by unusually heavy rains set off by Tropical Storm Nalgae. The storm blew out into the South China Sea on Sunday, leaving a trail of destruction in a large swath of the archipelago.

A large contingent of rescuers with bulldozers, backhoes and sniffer dogs resumed retrieval work in southern Kusiong village in hard-hit Maguindanao, where as many as 80 to 100 people, including entire families, are feared to have been buried by a boulder-laden mudslide or swept away by flash floods that started overnight Thursday, said Naguib Sinarimbo, the interior minister for the Bangsamoro autonomous region run by former separatist guerrillas under a peace pact.

The government’s main disaster-response agency said there were at least 98 storm deaths, and seven other fatalities were later reported by three provincial governors. At least 69 people were injured and 63 others remain missing.

Tropical Storm Nicole is expected to became a hurricane as it barrels toward the Flori

da Coast

Tropical Storm Nicole strengthened overnight and is on track to pummel the east coast of Florida Wednesday night as a Category 1 hurricane, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. If and when it does, it will be the first hurricane to make landfall in November since Hurricane Kate struck the state's panhandle in 1985.

As of 1 p.m. ET on Wednesday, the storm was about 10 miles from the northwestern Bahamas and 175 miles from West Palm Beach, Florida, according to NOAA's National Hurricane Center. Nicole has sustained maximum winds at 70 mph with strong winds extending nearly 460 miles from the center, moving west at 12 mph.

"We're going to have a very large area of impact, but potentially higher-end impacts as we expect Nicole to intensify into a hurricane as it approaches the Bahamas and the east coast of Florida late Wednesday into Thursday," Michael Brennan, acting deputy director at the NHC, said during a video update of the storm on Tuesday.

After landfall, Nicole is forecast to move across central and northern Florida into southern Georgia on Thursday, then into the Carolinas on Friday.
