The Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) of Mexico announced that it has restored normality for the more than 222,000 users affected by the hurricane in the states of Nayarit, Sinaloa, Durango, and Coahuila.

Before entering Mexico through Sinaloa, the cyclone, formed last weekend, registered an unusual behavior, since on Tuesday it weakened from a hurricane to a tropical storm, but strengthened again as a hurricane in the early hours of Wednesday.

Pamela made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane with Nayarit as the main affected state.
