Mexico City-Hurricane Roslyn weakened rapidly Sunday after making landfall on Mexico’s Pacific coast, nonetheless leaving two people dead, as well as damage from high winds, landslides and flooding.
Jorge Benito Rodriguez, security secretary in the northwestern state of Nayarit, said one person died in the Rosamorada municipality.
And fire officials confirmed that an 80-year-old man died on the island of Mexcaltitan when his house collapsed.
There were widespread reports of damage amid fears that still-rising rivers could lead to more flooding.
Hurricane Roslyn, classified at the time as a Category 3 storm, made landfall on the west coast of Mexico on Sunday, the US National Hurricane Center said. 
At 0000 GMT, Roslyn, downgraded to a tropical storm, was some 60 miles (95 km) outside the city of Torreon and moving northeast with maximum sustained winds of some 35 miles (55 kilometers) per hour.
“Weakening is expected to continue, and Roslyn is forecast to dissipate tonight,” the hurricane center said in its latest report.
Civil protection authorities in the hardest-hit states of Nayarit and Jalisco reported material damage, flooding, falling trees and landslides that blocked highways.
“We have floods but they do not represent a risk as such, and we have not reported any loss of human life,” Pedro Nunez, the head of Nayarit Civil Protection, told Televisa earlier in the day.
But with rain continuing, he said river levels were being closely monitored.
“It was a bit scary,” Erik Newcomer, an American who settled in the resort city of Puerto Vallarta three months ago, told media.
