Hurricane Jova nears strike on mexicos coast

In the article I read about hurricane Jova striking near Mexico's coast. Hurricane Jova was a category 3 hurricane which had maximum winds of 115 MPH. Jalisco state authorities evacuated around 500 people from the coast because the hurricane was going to hit the coast first. Authorities also set up shelters for people who live in inland towns because it was mountainous and it could cause floods and landslides. Around 65 shelters had opened on the coasts of Jalisco, Colima and Nayarit. The storm surge is supposed to cause a lot of flooding on the coast between the major seaport of manzanillo, east of barra de navidad and other places along that coast. The hurricane is supposed to go away by the time of the pan American games.

I felt kind of sad for the people who will lose their homes to the hurricane and flooding because most of them probably had those homes for a long time. I also felt sad for the people who might die because they probably don't deserve it and they'll also make their family members sad.
