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.
