( CNN ) -- As Hurricane Frank gained strength far from land over the Pacific Ocean on Thursday morning , southern Mexico dealt with the aftermath of the system 's assault on the mainland earlier in the week . Frank was packing sustained winds of 80 mph , according to the National Hurricane Center 's latest `` tropical weather discussion . '' The hurricane was about 380 miles ( 610 kilometers ) south of the southern tip of Baja California , the center 's 11 a.m. Thursday advisory said . Hurricane center meteorologists predicted the system 's strength -- currently Category 1 ( 74 to 95 mph ) -- would change little Thursday , and then would gradually begin weakening on Friday . But Frank had already done plenty of damage -- and as a tropical storm ( 39 to 73 mph sustained winds ) , no less -- before growing into a hurricane . Four people died and at least 30,000 residents in southern Mexico were affected by heavy rain and winds from the former Tropical Storm Frank , the government-run Notimex news agency said Wednesday . The deaths and damage occurred in Oaxaca state , on Mexico 's Pacific coast , Notimex said . A mudslide in the municipality of Totontepec Villa de Morelos killed two farm workers , the news agency said . A mudslide in another part of Oaxaca caused at least six vehicles to drive off Federal Highway 182 , leading to another two deaths , Notimex said . Several rain-swollen rivers -- including the Valle Nacional and the Atoyac -- overflowed their banks , affecting at least 10,000 people and leading to the loss of 4 tons of corn and 50 head of cattle , it said . Hundreds of people have been evacuated and placed in temporary shelters , officials said . In the nearby state of Tabasco , also in southern Mexico but on the Gulf of Mexico coast , heavy rain affected 48 localities and nearly 7,700 people , Notimex said . Frank is the third hurricane in the Pacific Ocean this year , following Celia and Darby . CNN 's Arthur Brice contributed to this report .
