The once-powerful Hurricane Odile weakened to a tropical storm as it worked its way across the Baja California peninsula early Tuesday. Still packing 65 mph winds, the storm lashed the region with torrential rains and the potential for flash flooding, according to the National Hurricane Center. Rainfall amounts of 6-12 inches are forecast, with isolated amounts of up to 18 inches. Odile left a mess in its wake -- snapped palm trees, washed out roads and tapped tourists trapped at Mexican resorts. The storm left stunned residents and tourists in its wake.
