Tropical Storm Nora hugs Mexico’s coast; 1 dead, 7 missing

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Hurricane Nora has weakened to a tropical storm as it causes floods and landslides along Mexico’s Pacific coast. At midday Sunday, it passed just inland of the Mazatlan resort area as a Category 1 hurricane, then veered into the Gulf of California and weakened into a tropical storm. The Jalisco state government says a teenager from Spain died Saturday night when a hotel partially collapsed in Puerto Vallarta amid severe flooding when Hurricane Nora passed by the tourist city just offshore. A woman was also missing in the city after her car was swept away. Officials say flooding damaged 500 homes and two people were injured in a landslide. Six fishermen from the state of Guerrero also are reported missing at sea.
