MEXICO CITY – Hurricane Odile caused 3 billion pesos ($224 million) in damage when it slammed into the western state of Baja California Sur last week, Mexico’s AMIS insurers association said.

Odile, which made landfall in the resort area of Los Cabos as a Category 3 hurricane with sustained winds of more than 200 kph (124 mph), is blamed for six deaths.

The 200 or so insurance adjusters deployed in the state since the storm passed are dealing with 2,330 Odile-related claims, AMIS director Recaredo Arias told a press conference last week.

Unlike hurricanes Ingrid and Manuel in 2013, Odile did not cause significant harm to hotels and businesses, Arias said.
