Hurricane Odile brought fierce winds and rain as it battered Mexico's northwest coast, Monday, proving challenging for those who ventured outside.

Trees were uprooted in La Paz, power lines came crashing down... Looters took advantage of shops torn apart by Odile's fury.

Others hid in a rescue shelter overnight as 90 mph winds whipped through the area.

It's deemed one of the worst storms to hit the luxury retreats of Los Cabos.

And even though Odile has weakened from a category four to a category one hurricane since Sunday, the U.S. National Hurricane Center says it will likely cause life-threatening flooding and mudslides on the northwestern coast in the next day or two.
