LOS CABOS, Mexico - Tropical Storm Rick hit Mexico's Pacific coast just north of the resort of Mazatlan(马萨特兰) on Wednesday, toppling trees and signs, after sparing Los Cabos (洛斯卡沃斯)on the Baja California peninsula (下加利福尼亚半岛)a direct blow.
The center of the storm made landfall around 10 a.m. ET with winds of about 55 mph, kicking up high waves that drew residents of Mazatlan to the city's seaside boulevard to watch the spectacle.
After moving over land, the storm dissipated by the afternoon, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.
