Hurricane Lane fizzled out on Sunday after leaving a trail of destruction on Mexico's Pacific coast that killed two people, washed away roads and knocked down flimsy homes, Reuters reported. Lane lost punch after slamming into a low-lying coastal area south of the city of Culiacan on Saturday. The storm slowed to a tropical depression on Sunday. Lashing rains turned small creeks into raging currents, washing away sections of roads and at least one bridge between Culiacan and the tourist city of Mazatlan. Dozens of trucks and their drivers were stranded. Lane's winds also toppled electricity towers, trees and traffic signs. A handful of locals gathered on one broken bridge near Culiacan on Sunday and stared at a small car which had been swept into a creek by a flash flood. "It seemed like the world was ending," said Jesus Javier Quintero, describing the three-hour pounding from Lane when the hurricane hit with its full force late Saturday.
