deaths also occurred when a tree fell on a car in Sinaloa. Overall, 6,000 people were affected and total damage from the storm was estimated at US$100 million, making Marty the costliest East Pacific storm of the year. The outer bands of the cyclone brought dropped locally heavy rains to extreme southwestern Arizona, but there were no reports of flooding. Hurricane Nora A tropical wave moved over Central America on September 25 and tracked parallel to the Mexican coast. It became more organized on October 1 and developed into Tropical Depression Fourteen-E roughly the south of the Baja California Peninsula around 18:00 UTC. The system continued to strengthen as it moved northwest in favorable conditions, becoming Tropical Storm Nora 12 hours later. On October 4, it became a hurricane and reached its peak as a Category 2 hurricane with winds. The influence of a mid-level trough, in conjunction with outflow from Hurricane Olaf, caused Nora to veer sharply eastward and begin to rapidly weaken. The cyclone struck the Mexico coastline just north of Mazatlán with winds of at 06:00 UTC on October 9. Nora dissipated over land six hours later. The storm dropped locally heavy rainfall near landfall, peaking at in Mazatlán. Moisture from the remnants of Nora and Olaf interacted with an upper-level low to produce heavy rainfall across Texas, causing flooding near Waco that forced a family to evacuate. Hurricane Olaf A tropical wave located to the south-southeast of Acapulco spawned a low-level circulation on October 2, which developed into Tropical Depression Fifteen-E by 06:00 UTC the next day approximately south-southeast of Acapulco. The depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Olaf six hours after forming as it moved to the northwest in a low shear environment. Olaf reached its peak strength as a minimal hurricane with winds around 12:00 UTC on October 5 as it developed a partial eyewall. The storm soon became disorganized and was only a hurricane for six hours as increased wind shear took its toll on the cyclone. Olaf moved erratically before ultimately accelerating northward toward the Mexico coast, and it made landfall about west of Manzanillo with winds of on October 7. The system weakened as it moved inland, falling to tropical depression intensity late on October 7 and dissipating early the next day. Since Olaf struck the Mexico coastline as a more coherent system than Nora, it produced significantly more rainfall across the
