The eye of Hurricane Fausto can be seen clearly at the height of the storm's intensity on Monday.
Two tropical storms swirling off the west coast of Mexico intensified into Hurricanes during the week, but neither threatened any significant land areas.
Hurricane Fausto formed first, then passed to the south of Mexico’s remote Socorro Island, where high surf generated by the storm pounded the outpost’s southwest-facing coast.
Fausto eventually losing force over the cooler Pacific waters between Mexico and Hawaii.
As Fausto began to weaken, Tropical Storm Genevieve formed just off Mexico’s Guerrero coast.
It gradually increased intensity to hurricane force while curving to a westward track across the Pacific.
Genevieve was also predicted to be weakened by cooler waters to the west.
