Hurricane Agatha made history as the strongest hurricane ever recorded to come ashore in May in the eastern Pacific making landfall on a stretch of tourist beaches and fishing towns in southern Mexico on Monday.
The system's torrential rains caused some rivers to swell, flooding the small community of San Isidro del Palmar.
Agatha formed on Sunday and quickly gained power coming ashore in Oaxaca state Monday afternoon as a strong Category 2 hurricane.
The storm, with maximum sustained winds of 105 mph (165kph), quickly lost power as it moved inland over the mountainous interior.
Agatha was downgraded to a tropical storm late Monday, its sustained winds down to 70 mph (110 kph).
The U.S. National Hurricane Center said the storm should dissipate overnight but warned that the system's heavy rains still posed a threat of dangerous flash floods for Mexico's southern states.
