Hurricane Erick spun up quickly and is headed towards the south-central coast of Mexico, just east of the still suffering Acapulco area … here are NHC’s Key messages regarding Hurricane Erick (en Español: Mensajes Claves). The TAOS(tm)/Lachesis TC damage model forecast is showing about 5.5 million people in the tropical storm wind swath, and likely economic impacts approaching $1 Billion USD:

If you are in the damage swath, this is a dangerous storm so be ready. Will post more in the morning (assuming the upcoming war between the US and Iran hasn’t started by then).
