Tropical Storm Ileana forced residents and tourists in Mexico’s resort-studded Los Cabos to stay inside as rain pounded the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula.

It was about 75 miles north-northeast of Cabo San Lucas with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph, the center said. Mexican Authorities issued a red alert and urged people to stay indoors. Schools were suspended, and shelters were prepared. Workers in Cabo San Lucas described constant rain and choppy waves. Some flights were canceled, and businesses remained closed.
