The images of the destruction left by hurricanes John and Helene as they pass through Mexico and the United States.

At least five people died in southern Mexico as a result of Hurricane John, which made landfall in the Pacific as a Category 3 cyclone.

Its strong winds of 195 km/h and storms caused sudden floods, landslides and flooding of rivers, which have left thousands of victims.

Hurricane Helene, meanwhile, has been one of the most powerful storms to hit the United States, with wind gusts of 225 km/h at one point.

Helene made landfall in Florida as a Category 4 hurricane on Thursday night, but was downgraded to a tropical storm as it moved into the country.

As of this Friday afternoon, at least 38 fatalities had been recorded.

Across the region, many woke up to discover damage caused by the floods.
