Hurricane Dolores (1974)
Hurricane Dolores was regarded as the worst hurricane to strike Acapulco since 1938. Developing on June 13, 1974, the system rapidly organized into a tropical storm the next day off the southern coast of Mexico. Over the following day, Dolores developed an eye-like feature and attained hurricane status. With peak winds of 80 mph (130 km/h), the storm made landfall near Acapulco. Once onshore, Dolores rapidly dissipated and was last noted on June 17.
Across Southwestern Mexico, Hurricane Dolores produced heavy rains that triggered widespread flooding and mudslides. Numerous roads sustained damage, separating communities from surrounding areas. At least 18 people were killed and 32 others were injured by the storm. Additionally, an estimated 173,000 people were affected across the country.
==Meteorological history==
On June 13, 1974, a tropical disturbance was identified several hundred miles south of Mexico. Tracking westward, rapid development ensued the following day and the system was classified a tropical depression around 12 UTC. Shortly thereafter, satellite intensity estimates indicated further strengthening and the storm was upgraded to Tropical Storm Dolores. Development temporarily slowed on June 15 as the structure gradually organized. Enhanced by the Intertropical Convergence Zone, a band of deep convection wrapped into the storm. A banding eye-feature developed later that day, indicating Dolores to be near hurricane strength.〔
Late on June 15, Dolores' forward motion slowed as it turned almost due north towards the Mexican coastline.〔 Around 00 UTC on June 16, it is estimated that the storm intensified into a hurricane, with sustained winds peaking at 80 mph (130 km/h).〔〔 Based on satellite imagery, Dolores is also estimated to have attained a barometric pressure of 973 mbar (hPa; 28.73 inHg). Roughly 18 hours later, Dolores made landfall near Acapulco.〔〔 Winds in the area were measured up to 77 mph (124 km/h).〔 Once onshore, rapid dissipation ensued and Dolores was last noted early on June 17.〔〔
