The storm registered winds up to 80 kilometers per hour.
At approximately 2am Thursday morning Mazatlán found itself in the path of an unexpected thunderstorm with accompanying winds of up to 80 kilometers per hour.
Wind downed signs and billboards throughout the city.
The rain and wind, a result of a low pressure which formed in Nayarit, left 11,000 people without electricity and knocked out traffic signals throughout the city, downed billboards and trees, broke glass windows in the central bus station and in one case, tore the roof off a home in Colonia Urías.
Roof top water tinacos lined a street in El Centro.
CFE personnel reported power outages in 82 sectors of the city, including Infonavit Playas, Colonia Sánchez Celís, El Cid, El Toreo, Zona Dorada, Lomas de Mazatlán, Hacienda de las Cruces and Sábalo Country.
A family woke to find wind had torn away their roof in Colonia Urías.
By 10:40am power was restored to most areas. But in the meantime, families moved chairs outside their homes onto sidewalks to escape the oppressive heat when air conditioners and fans fell silent during the seven hour power outage.
