High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Hurricane Eugene was the only tropical cyclone to make landfall in Mexico during the busy 1987 Pacific hurricane season. The eight tropical cyclone, fifth named storm, and first hurricane of the season, Eugene developed on July 22 from a tropical disturbance centered well offshore of Mexico. Later that day, the system intensified into a tropical storm, as it was curving northwestward. The cyclone eventually reached hurricane status on July 24; it briefly peaked as a Category 2 hurricane two days later. Hurricane Eugene weakened back to a Category 1 hurricane, it made landfall near Manzanillo, Colima. Eugene rapidly weakened inland, and was only a tropical storm when it re-emerged into the Gulf of California. It quickly dissipated over open water. Throughout Mexico, Eugene produced high winds and heavy rainfall, especially in the southwestern portions of the country. The hurricane deluged the southwest Mexican coastline, resulting in the highest rainfall totals from a tropical cyclone in five Mexican states. Over 5,000 people were left homeless due to the hurricane. In addition, heavy crop damage occurred. Overall, Eugene caused three fatalities and $2.6 million (1987 USD) in damage.
