Alamos hit hard by Norbert.

Hurricane Norbert came ashore on mainland Mexico near Yavaros, Sonora. There's no doubt that Yavaros, Huatabampo and Huatabampito have sustained damage. The main news I'm finding though is about major flooding that roared through Alamos in the hills above Navojoa. Sadly, the press is reporting that four people lost their lives.

Here' a link to some photos of the damage in Alamos.

The road from Navojoa to Alamos was damaged, but El Imparcial, the Hermosillo paper, is reporting that the road is now open (barely) to allow emergency relief vehicles to get to the town.

Our hearts go out to everyone impacted by this disaster.
