MARQUELIA, Mexico—Hurricane John fell apart as quickly as it formed but left destruction along Mexico’s southern Pacific coast Tuesday, including deadly mudslides and flooding that may linger for days.
John was a Category 3 hurricane when it made landfall late Monday night near the town of Punta Maldonado, with winds of 120 mph. It weakened to a tropical depression Tuesday with maximum sustained winds of 35 mph, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.
