Cabo Hurricane Season 2014 - in line with the Eastern Pacific hurricane season, a pretty strong tropical cyclone has invaded the west coast of Mexico and even damaged the famous resort town Cabo, MotherJones.com reported.
Though the Cabo hurricane season 2014 has mostly brought strong cyclones in Mexico recently, all of them landed at the sea off the west coast area. However, on Monday, a different story unfolded among the local residents when a Category 3 monster hurricane named "Hurricane Odile" made a strong entrance at Cabo San Luca Monday morning.
The National Hurricane Center says that Odile - which peaked at Category 4 - has actually tied a 1967 storm for having the dreadful distinction of being "the strongest hurricane to make landfall in the satellite era in the state of Baja California Sur."
The latest tropical cyclone in the Cabo Hurricane Season 2014 is so strong Capital Weather Gang's Jason Samenow says its "size, strength, and track is a worst case scenario for this region."
Updates on the devastating natural phenomenon claim that many residents and tourists have remained in their shelters and hotel conference rooms overnight amid the remarkably strong landfall of Odile, ABC News has learned.
Hurricane Odile commenced its landfall at around 10:45 p.m. local time as it brought huge waves and heavy rain in Cabo San Lucas.
The documented maximum wind speed during the Cabo Hurricane Season 2014's strongest cyclone was at 125 miles per hour with local reports claiming it brought the most "intense landfall" ever.
Many residents were rescued in the wake of Odile's tour around Cabo. Christina McFadden said that she and her husband had to be rescued from the hotel where they were staying because a window blew out in their room, trapping them inside.
"When the glass broke, we hid behind the chair and next to the toilet and then I told my husband, 'I think we need to leave,' because it sounded like the building was falling apart," McFadden said in an interview with ABC News.
"We're sweating profusely, it's very hot here," she added. "We're in a room with about 200 people and a lot of people are sleeping or trying to sleep, but I don't know, we're just up."
Since the sighting of Odile was identified, authorities have released statements to the local residents that they should stay inside safer areas of hotels and be wary of crystal doors and windows.
National Coordinator for Mexico's Civil Protection Agency Luis Felipe Puente said that almost 30,000 tourists were present in Cabo when the massive hurricane made its landfall.
Puente also added that at least 164 shelters in Baja California Sur have been prepared for the victims of the calamity for them to use amid the on-going Cabo hurricane season 2014.
