<p>Authorities said the death toll could rise over the weekend as emergency crews surveyed the damage in heavily-flooded villages.</p>
<p>One person is considered missing and video broadcast on local networks showed vehicles being swept away by flooded rivers.</p>
<p>The mayor of the twin resorts of Los Cabos, Arturo de la Rosa Escalante, said two people had been electrocuted by power lines, a woman was drowned after being swept away by water on a flooded street and a baby was ripped from its mother&#8217;s arms as she crossed a flooded area.</p>
<p>State tourism secretary Luis Genero Ruiz said about 20,000 foreign tourists were stranded after airlines suspended flights to the area.</p>
<p>About 1,400 people had sought refuge at storm shelters as the storm flooded the streets.</p>
<p>The US National Hurricane Centre said Lidia made landfall early on Friday west of La Paz, the capital of Baja California Sur state.</p>
<p>Lidia&#8217;s wind strength had eased to 45mph on Saturday morning, and further weakening was forecast.</p>
<p>The centre said Lidia was expected to become a remnant low pressure system by Sunday.</p>
<p>The storm was centred about 70 miles east-south-east of Punta Eugenia and was heading north-west at about 12 mph.</p>
<p>Lidia earlier spread rains over a broad swathe of Mexico including the capital, where it was blamed for flooding that briefly closed the city&#8217;s airport this week.</p>
<p>The hurricane centre forecast that some of the storm&#8217;s tropical moisture would affect the US desert south-west over the Labour Day weekend, including parts of western Arizona, southern California and southern Nevada, in the form of scattered showers and thunderstorms.</p>
<p>Far out over the Atlantic, meanwhile, Hurricane Irma is following a course that could bring it near the eastern Caribbean Sea next week.</p>
<p>It had maximum sustained winds near 110mph and was moving west at 14mph.</p>
<p>There was no immediate threat to land, and no coastal watches or warnings were in effect.</p>
