Preparations and impact

[edit]
Tropical Storm Bud approaching the Baja California Peninsula on June 14

The Government of Mexico issued various tropical cyclone watches and warnings in advance of the storm. A tropical storm warning was issued for the southwestern coast of Mexico from Manzanillo to Cabo Corrientes, Mexico, around 21:00 UTC on June 10. A tropical storm watch and warning were issued from Santa Fe to La Paz, Baja California Sur on June 13. Additional tropical storm watches were issued at 21:00 UTC on June 14 from La Paz to San Evaristo and Altata to Huatabampito.[1] Green and yellow alerts, signifying low and moderate danger, respectively, were issued for portions of Sinaloa on June 15.[2][3] A yellow alert was also issued for Jalisco.[4] A red alert, signifying the maximum level of danger, was issued for the Los Cabos Municipality.[5] An orange alert, meaning high danger, was raised for La Paz Municipality.[6]

Admiral Vidal Francisco Soberón Sanz of the Mexican Secretariat of the Navy activated the Prevention Phase of the Marine Plan, a military disaster preparation and relief plan, in the Mexican states of Baja California Sur, Colima, Jalisco, Sinaloa, Nayarit, Michoacán, and Guerrero. The port in Lázaro Cárdenas, Michoacán was closed to all naval traffic. Small craft were to remain docked at ports in San Carlos, Baja California Sur; Manzanillo, Colima; Acapulco, Zihuatanejo, and Puerto Marqués, Guerrero;[7][8] and Mazatlán, Sinaloa.[9] In Baja California Sur, 167 shelters were established with a combined capacity of 29,500 people and another 113 shelters were able to hold up to 54,000 residents in total.[10] Classes were suspended in Los Cabos and La Paz as a precautionary measure.[5] Medical services were provided at shelters in the Los Cabos municipality by the Mexican and state governments.[11] At least 20 flights were canceled at the Los Cabos international airport.[12] Around 150 people were evacuated from coastal regions in Armería.[4]

Hurricane Bud produced widespread thunderstorms, causing heavy rainfall across much of Mexico. A peak rainfall total of 6.50 in (165 mm) occurred in San Lorenzo, Sinaloa. Rainfall totals of 6.20 in (157.6 mm) was recorded in Andrew Weiss, Sinaloa, and 6.01 in (152.6 mm) of rain fell in Alamos, Sonora.[13]

Jalisco and Colima

[edit]

Bud caused severe flooding in the state of Jalisco. Rainfall from Bud flooded streets in northern Guadalajara, inundating and/or sweeping away at least 219 vehicles.[14] The Canal de Patria overflowed, flooding streets, as well as the parking lot and first floor of the Plaza Patria mall.[15] People in the mall climbed to higher floors to avoid the flooding.[16] Approximately MX$1,853,000 (US$90,000) of merchandise was damaged and the Marti Sports store suffered over MX$1,000,000 (US$48,500) in infrastructural damage. A Radioshack lost over MX$100,000 (US$4850) worth of products. Another store suffered MX$500,000 (US$24,250) in lost products. Total damage from the storm in the Plaza Patria mall is unknown.[17] A sinkhole developed at an intersection on Patria Avenue, damaging power lines and traffic lights. The Avila Camacho and Laureles tunnel was closed to traffic after it flooded.[18] At least 94 residences and 27 businesses were also damaged by the storm.[14][15] Water up to 16 ft (5 m) deep completely submerged a light-rail train after an electrical failure prevented the train from reversing. Ninety passengers had to be rescued from the station using lifejackets, surfboards, and boats.[19][20][14] Two pumps designed to remove excess water failed due to a power outage.[18] Cleaning operations commenced and one train was removed from the area a day after the flooding occurred; this allowed the station to resume normal traffic.[21]

Plan DN-III-E, a disaster relief and rescue plan, was activated in the state by the Secretariat of National Defense (Sedena). Sedena also established shelters and performed cleanup operations in the state.[14] The Mexican Army rescued people who had become entrapped in their vehicles.[15] Several people in Zapopán had to swim through floodwaters in the streets and shopping centers to avoid drowning.[22] A person sustained minor injuries as their vehicle was swept away by floodwaters.[16] The person was rescued and transported to a medical facility for treatment. Parks and Gardens personnel used chainsaws to clear roads after multiple trees fell and blocked them.[21] A federal highway collapsed in the state following heavy rainfall from Bud.[23]

In Colima state, waves swept away chairs, tables, and umbrellas from beaches. Twenty-five businesses that were located on El Paraíso beach in Armería were destroyed; 17 more were half destroyed.[4][24] Debris accumulated on roads in Armería, causing damage. Power grids, as well as, hydraulic and drainage systems sustained damage. At the Pascuales beach in Tecomán, the front street and businesses flooded.[25] In Manzanillo, street flooding occurred and sewer systems were obstructed. Four trees fell in the towns of Naranjo, Salagua, Santiago, and Nuevo Cuyutlán.[26] Waves flooded shelters and umbrellas at the La Boquita Beach.[25]

Guerrero and Michoacan

[edit]

In Guerrero state, Bud damaged 317 grocery stores, flooded 121 homes in the Grande and Chica regions, and damaged six hotels in Acapulco. At least 12 homes and 50 shelters were also damaged in the state. Numerous shelters were set up in the state where those affected by the storm could receive food and cleaning supplies.[9] In total, 599 shelters were erected in Guerrero, with the ability to hold 150,000 people.[12] The state provided heavy machinery to use for the cleaning and reconstruction of homes and restaurants that had sustained damage during the storm.[9] The Mexican Army initiated Plan DN-III-E to aid people in the Union of Montes de Oca Municipality. Floodwaters inundated an unknown number of residences in the town of Petalco. Soldiers helped citizens move appliances, mattresses, and pets from their homes.[19][27] State police and the Mexican Army set up temporary shelters in Tecpan de Galeana and La Unión for 100 people who were forced to evacuate due to heavy rainfall and high waves.[14]

Four species of fish died off in the Laguna Negra of Puerto Marques after sewage contaminated the waters following heavy rainfall from Bud.[28] Beaches and coastal towns were damaged by strong waves and torrential rainfall. Soldiers and local workforces cleaned up the debris from these areas.[23] Businessmen in the resort town of Pie de la Cuesta requested that Fonden, the National Disaster Relief Fund, be activated due to the damage sustained as a result of the storm. Approximately 123 businesses suffered losses and infrastructural damage after strong waves compromised the stability of the sand the buildings were on. The waves swept away furniture and caused the short-circuiting of electrical components, almost killing a family.[29]

Bud damaged at least 78 businesses along the Jardin, Eréndira, Chuquiapan, Playa Azul, Las Peñas and Caleta beaches in Michoacan.[30] At least 20 palapas were destroyed at the Jardin and Eréndira beaches.[31] Waves exceeding 13 ft (4 m) and high sea levels damaged the beaches and shelters. Reconstruction work in the area had begun by June 22.[32] Bud also washed away the Betula, a Norweigan tanker that had run ashore in 1993; the ship had been a tourist attraction since then.[33][34] Restaurants located on the beach and homes in Aquila Municipality sustained damage after water from the ocean came 115 ft (35 m) inland.[23]

Elsewhere

[edit]

Waves produced by Bud flooded several homes in Navolato, Sinaloa, causing one to collapse. A Palapa near a housing complex also sustained damage.[35] Fourteen people had to be evacuated from their homes due to rising floodwaters. A dam in Culiacán reached maximum capacity, prompting authorities to discharge the excess water. Three people had to be rescued after their vehicle became trapped in a strong water current.[36] Several hectare of chop suey crops in Mocorito spoiled after excessive rainfall.[37]

The La Olla and San Renovato dams overflowed due to excessive rainfall from Bud, causing extensive road flooding and damage throughout the historical district in Guanajuato City, Guanajuato.[38][39][40][41]

In Mexico City, the Collective Transportation System Metro halted service to several stations on its A-Line after roads flooded.[38] The line was fully operational by June 15 after the water was drained at one location by four stationary sump pumps, four mobile pumps, and two emergency teams. Another point was cleared by eight mobile pumps.[42] Heavy rainfall generated currents that swept away a child who was crossing a road in the city.[43][12]

The remnants of Bud sent a plume of moisture into the Southwestern United States, bringing much needed rainfall to the drought-stricken region. Tucson, Arizona, reported its first precipitation since February 28, with 0.17 in (4.3 mm) of rain on June 15. Flash flood watches were issued for parts of Arizona, New Mexico, and southwestern Colorado.[44] Around 2 in (51 mm) of rain fell near Cave Creek, Arizona, generating streams of water that crossed over and blocked roadways.[45] Thunderstorms generated by Bud's remnants produced wind gusts up to 61 mph (98 km/h) at the Taos Regional Airport in New Mexico.[46] Rain from Bud slowed the growth of the 416 Fire in southwestern Colorado and a fire in southern Wyoming.[47][48]
