Massive devastation in Mexico's Baja Peninsula with Cabo San Lucas being hard hit when Odile was a Cat4 storm.
The UK Telegraph has good coverage including these photos (lots more at the site):
On track to centerpnch Cabo San Lucas
Residential area - this used to be a wonderful small fishing village with a few 'tourist' attractions but was developed massively in the last 20 years.
Taking shelter in a stairwell - the designated "shelter" was severely damaged with flying window glass and parts of the ceiling falling down on people.
Had the great pleasure of sailing into Cabo three times in the 1980's - gorgeous small town. Very friendly - invited to parties every night. There was a large fishing and sea salt industry for a while but the environmentalists killed those. They then opted for tourism and a few people became very very rich.
