 When the National Hurricane Center issued its first advisory on Karina , the storm was near the island of Socorro . There were no known preparations taken before the storm , as the island is mainly a natural reserve and the only inhabitants reside in a military base . On Clarion Island , residents took minor actions to prepare for possible impact from the storm . Officials advised residents to cancel all coastal activities and comply with advice from the National Civil Protection . Small crafts were advised to exercise extreme caution . In Cabo San Lucas , officials closed the port due to high waves produced by Karina ; small crafts such as water taxis and jet skis were to remain at the port . Port officials in Oaxaca and Chiapas advised boaters of strong winds , rain , and low visibility that they may encounter when nearing the seas around Karina . Despite the proximity to Socorro , no damage was reported and Karina remained far enough away from Clarion that there was no impact on the island . There were no ship reports of tropical storm @-@ force winds .
