About Hurricane John (2006) in brief
Hurricane John was the eleventh named storm, seventh hurricane, and fifth major hurricane of the 2006 Pacific hurricane season. It developed on August 28 from a tropical wave to the south of Mexico. Favorable conditions allowed the storm to intensify quickly, and it attained peak winds of 130 mph on August 30. The hurricane threatened large portions of the western coastline of Mexico, resulting in the evacuation of tens of thousands of people. John caused moderate damage on the Baja California peninsula, including the destruction of more than 200 houses and thousands of flimsy shacks. In the southwest United States, moisture from the remnants of John produced heavy rainfall. The rainfall aided drought conditions in portions of northern Texas, although it was detrimental in locations that had received above-normal rainfall throughout the year. John passed near La Paz as a weakening Category 1 hurricane on September 2, and weakened to a tropical storm shortly thereafter over land. By September 4, most of the convection from the system had decpled towards mainland Mexico, and a clear circulation had not been discernible for 24 hours.
The National Hurricane Center issued its last advisory on the system on its last day of the hurricane season on September 4. It was the last hurricane to be classified as a major hurricane in the Pacific Ocean during the 2006 hurricane season, and was the fifth major storm to make landfall in the United States since Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The storm caused $663 million in damage in Mexico, with five people killed and more than 1,000 homes destroyed. It also caused $1.2 billion in losses in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. It dissipated on September 5, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. The remnants of the storm are now a tropical depression with winds of up to 40 mph (65 km/h) in the eastern Pacific Ocean. It is no longer a tropical cyclone or a tropical weather system. It has been downgraded to a low-level tropical depression. The system is now a remnant low-pressure system. The remnant low has not made landfall in Mexico since September 1, and its remnants are no longer visible from the surface. The tropical depression is now an extinct tropical storm.
