Four dead as Tropical Storm Lidia lashes Baja California

Tropical Storm Lidia has caused four deaths in Mexico’s Los Cabos, officials said Friday as it continued to lash the resort-studded southern Baja California Peninsula with heavy rains.

Arturo de la Rosa Escalante, mayor of the twin resorts of Los Cabos, said two people were electrocuted by power lines, a woman drowned after being swept away by water on a flooded street and a baby was ripped from its mother’s arms as she crossed a flooded area.

About 1,400 people sought refuge at storm shelters.

The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Lidia made landfall early . . .
