REFILE – ADDING DROPPED WORD ‘AS’ IN FIRST SENTENCE
Residents prepare a bonfire as they stand outside at a street while guarding their homes as they face a lack of power, in Cabo San Lucas, after Hurricane Odile hit in Baja California, September 18, 2014. Thousands of tourists were stranded in the storm-battered Mexican Pacific resort of Los Cabos on Thursday, with water in short supply and looted stores sitting empty as a new hurricane threatened to buffet the popular tourist hub. Odile churned into the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula on September 14, 2014 as a Category 3 hurricane, wreaking havoc on a scenic area popular with U.S sun seekers that has rarely witnessed such devastation.
