Los Cabos Travel After Hurricane Odile

Hurricane Odile hit popular Mexican vacation destination Cabo San Lucas on the night of September 14, causing severe damage to resorts and destroying homes and infrastructure. Having thought the storm would miss Los Cabos, the city was largely unprepared for the Category 3 hurricane. It was the strongest to ever make landfall in Mexico’s Baja Peninsula.

The storm sustained winds of up to 125 mph, leaving 92% of the state’s population without power or water. Much of Los Cabos is still without. Some 30,000 tourists were evacuated over the following five days by Alaska Airlines and other U.S. carriers as well as the Mexican military. The Los Cabos International Airport is estimated to reopen on October 8, but until then will not be accommodating any commercial flights.
