This system sank an American steamship called the Colombia (losses unknown).^[3] On land, the area around Santa Rosalía, Baja California Sur was severely devastated. More than 100 people were killed on land,^[4] mostly due to drowning.^[5]

A merchant ship called Perkins was damaged in the storm, with two people washed overboard. On land, connections with the El Boleo copper mine were destroyed, with the mine itself flooded, causing $500,000 (1931 USD) in damage.^[6] Hundreds were left homeless. In the aftermath, there was a shortage of food and medicine,^[5] and troops were dispatched to maintain order.^[6]
