Hurricane Grace makes landfall for second time in Mexico

Published



Hurricane Grace struck Mexico overnight for the second time on Friday, causing rapid flash flooding and wind speeds up to 80 miles per hour as the storm escalated into a Category 3 hurricane, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Grace already hit Mexico once this week, moving through the Yucatan Peninsula on Thursday before weakening into a tropical storm, then turning into a major hurricane Friday night. On Tuesday, the storm also passed over Haiti, which is recovering from a recent 7.2-magnitude earthquake that killed over 1,900 residents and affected as many as 1.2 million people.
