Homes and businesses were hit hard by the strong Category 3 hurricane, with many leveled, and there are reports of looting at some grocery stores. Some 30,000 tourists were moved to temporary shelters, and the Los Cabos International Airport remains closed. Power lines and road signs have been knocked over, and more than 239,000 people in the state of Baja California Sur are without electricity. More than 130 people have been treated for minor injuries, most caused by falling objects and broken glass, but no serious injuries or deaths have been reported. --Catherine Garcia
