“I call on the population of the borders between Nayarit and Jalisco, especially Bahía de Banderas, Puerto Vallarta and Tomatlán, to take precautions because Hurricane Lidia intensified to category and is about to make landfall. The Marine Plan and Plan DN-III-E have already been activated. There are elements of the Armed Forces and Civil Protection in the area.

The Jalisco authorities also asked the population to remain sheltered in temporary shelters and safe places. “Tonight, in Autlán de Navarro, Hurricane Lidia left the El Cangrejo, Cuajinque and Ahuacapan streams overflowing, as well as various floods. So far, there have been no reports of fully affected people and fortunately Lidia has already been downgraded to category ,” said the governor of Jalisco, Enrique Alfaro.
According to the National Water Commission (Conagua) and the National Meteorological Service, Lidia caused floods, overflows, intense rains, storm surges, power outages and suspension of classes in Jalisco, Colima, Nayarit and Sinaloa. Swells generated by Lidia are expected to affect the west coast of Mexico and the Baja California peninsula in the coming days, likely causing dangerous currents.
The Government of Jalisco confirmed that the passage of the cyclone caused streams in Autlán de Navarro to overflow, including El Cangrejo, which caused the Autlán Regional Hospital to flood. The overflow of “El Cangrejo” was also added to that of the Coajinque River and the El Salado and El Cristiano streams, which has caused flooding. The mayor of Autlán de Navarro, Gustavo Robles, reported that Civil Protection has received numerous reports of water leaks in residential homes and they are already working "at forced march."
