The following Oregon players appeared on preseason award watch lists


2013 Oregon Ducks football team, Pre-season, Spring football
On April 27, 2013 the Oregon Ducks capped off their spring football practices with the traditional Spring Football Game, open to the public held at Autzen Stadium. As has been the practice for many years, in order to gain admission to the game each fan must donate at least three non-perishable food items to Food for Lane County on their way in the stadium. Following a record donation year in 2012, Oregon fans again donated over 70,000 pounds of food to the charity.


2013 Oregon Ducks football team, Pre-season, Spring football
Donating food is not the only non-football activity for a good cause that is associated with the Oregon Spring Game, the game is played in honor of the United States Armed Forces and specifically the several reserve and guard units stationed close to Eugene. The football players will wear special made Nike uniforms that have "Support Our Troops" on the back where the player's last name is usually found, along with American Flags on the sleeves. During half-time a group of Marine Corps enlistees took the oath of enlistment on the field.


2013 Oregon Ducks football team, Pre-season, Spring football
Following the game the players line up on the north sideline, with an equal number of service-members from each branch of the military lining up on the south sideline. The two groups meet in the middle of the field where the players then remove their jersey and give it to a service-member, the service-member in turns presents the football player with a challenge coin. The tradition of the Spring Game being dedicated to supporting the military is part of the legacy of former head coach Chip Kelly, following the funeral of a local soldier in 2010, which he attended.


2013 Oregon Ducks football team, Pre-season, Spring football
The 2013 iteration of the game was the first under new head coach Mark Helfrich and it also implemented a new scoring system for the first time in several years. Traditionally the offensive and defensive coordinators act as head coaches of two different teams, which are selected via a draft, the two teams then face off in a normally scored exhibition game. Due to a rash of injuries on both sides of the ball the format was tweaked so that it was simply the offense versus the defense, with a modified points system.


2013 Oregon Ducks football team, Pre-season, Spring football
The offense would score normally, with six points for touchdowns with the opportunity for point after attempts, and three points for field goals. The defense would follow normal rules for touchdowns as well, but would also gain three points for turnovers and one point every time that they kept the offense from scoring. The points system led to a lopsided victory by the offense, 65–0.

2013 Ottawa bus–train crash
The Ottawa bus–train crash was a collision that occurred between an OC Transpo double-decker bus and a Via Rail train in the Ottawa suburb of Barrhaven on September 18, 2013, that killed six people.


2013 Ottawa bus–train crash, Details
The collision occurred at 8:48 a.m. at a rail crossing near Fallowfield Road and Woodroffe Avenue on the Transitway, the city's dedicated road for buses.


2013 Ottawa bus–train crash, Details
The train, Via Rail #51 (pulled by General Electric P42 Genesis locomotive #915), departed Ottawa at 8:32 a.m., bound for Toronto. The bus, OC Transpo Route 76 (an Alexander Dennis Enviro500 double-decker #8017), had just departed from Fallowfield Transitway Station with 83 people aboard. The crossing's gates, lights, and bells engaged 47 seconds before the crash, and its gates were fully horizontal across the road 25 seconds before the crash. The train rang its bell but did not sound its whistle, due to a municipal whistle ban in effect between 8:00 p.m. and noon.


2013 Ottawa bus–train crash, Details
The train was travelling at 75 kilometres per hour (47 mph) at the time of the collision – below its speed limit of 161 km/h (100 mph) – and its emergency brakes were applied 2 seconds prior to the collision. The bus was travelling at 67.6 km/h (42.0 mph) – above its speed limit of 60 km/h (37 mph) – before its brakes were applied, which occurred 3 seconds before the crash; the full force of the brakes was not initially applied. The collision sheared off the front end of the bus and derailed the train.


2013 Ottawa bus–train crash, Details
Five occupants of the bus were pronounced dead at the scene of the accident (including the bus driver) and one later died in hospital, while thirty-five occupants were injured, five seriously. None of the train's passengers or crew were injured.


2013 Ottawa bus–train crash, Details
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne were among those who offered condolences to the victims of the crash and their families. The bus and the train involved in the crash were both removed from the scene on September 19, 2013. Via Rail train service resumed through the area in the morning of September 20, 2013. A community memorial was held for all of the victims of the crash at Cedarview Alliance Church on September 22, 2013, where funerals for two of the victims were also held later in the week. Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson was among those who attended the community memorial.


2013 Ottawa bus–train crash, Investigation
The crash was investigated by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB). The TSB was not able to identify any issue with the track's condition or the operation of the train. The bus driver did not have any drugs or alcohol in his system and did not have any medical conditions that would have led to the crash. On September 28, 2013, TSB investigators and Ottawa Police investigators returned to the site of the incident in order to reenact the crash and collect more information on what might have led to the collision.


2013 Ottawa bus–train crash, Investigation, Interim measures
On October 16, 2013, based on early observations made by the TSB, Ottawa's transit commission, in the body's first meeting since the crash, outlined four new safety improvements for the level crossing that was the site of the crash. These measures were clearing trees and brush from the area of the crash site to improve visibility, reducing the speed along the Transitway approaching the level crossing from 60 to 50 kilometres per hour (37 to 31 mph), installing bigger signs, and installing a new early warning light to caution buses when a train is coming. The city stated that these measures would only be extended to the crossing where the crash occurred and that these observations made by the TSB should not be confused with causes of the crash.


2013 Ottawa bus–train crash, Investigation, Interim measures
In late fall of 2013, the City of Ottawa hired the consultant firm MMM Group to study whether or not the OC Transpo buses should be required to stop at all rail crossings as is done in many other regions in Canada. The results of the MMM group study were released on April 9, 2014, and suggested that requiring buses to stop at railway crossings actually increases collisions between buses and trains by 17 percent, prompting OC Transpo not to change their policy on the matter.


2013 Ottawa bus–train crash, Investigation, Interim measures
On January 9, 2014, the City of Ottawa was ordered by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), as part of its workplace safety investigation of the crash, to assess the safety of each railway crossing in the city where OC Transpo buses and trains have the potential of coming into contact.


2013 Ottawa bus–train crash, Investigation, Interim measures
On February 25, 2014, the TSB sent two letters to the City of Ottawa. The first addressed four incidents that happened in the months following the bus and train collision where buses went through the crossing involved after its warning lights started flashing but before its gates closed. This first letter recommended that the city take additional measures to ensure that buses are able to  safely stop at level crossings when the warning lights are activated.


2013 Ottawa bus–train crash, Investigation, Interim measures
The second letter addressed another incident that happened on February 14, 2014, at the same level crossing where one gate stayed down and the warning lights remained on after the train had passed. This second letter recommends that OC Transpo and Via Rail create standard operating procedures for dealing with malfunctioning automated level crossings. Further malfunctions of Via Rail crossings near the site of the crash led then Foreign Affair Minister and local MP John Baird to call for the resignation of Via Rail President Steve Del Bosco, who was later replaced as president by Yves Desjardins-Siciliano.


2013 Ottawa bus–train crash, Investigation, Interim measures
On September 24, 2014, the TSB gave a progress update on the investigation. The update mentioned two potential factors in the crash: the speed of the bus, which exceeded the speed limit and affected its stopping distance, and a video screen located above the driver's work station used to monitor passengers on the upper level of the bus. The update stated that a passenger who was standing at the time of the crash or a similar situation may have caused a distraction. The update recommended that the video screen should go blank when the bus is moving and that more should be done to monitor bus speed, particularly around rail road crossings.


2013 Ottawa bus–train crash, Investigation, Interim measures
In July 2015, a draft of the TSB's report was submitted to the City of Ottawa and Via Rail.


2013 Ottawa bus–train crash, Investigation, Final report
On December 2, 2015, the report of the TSB found that the driver of the bus was most likely distracted by the video screens that he was required to monitor as part of his job. The report also made recommendations to Transport Canada to develop guidelines for the use of in-vehicle video screens to reduce distraction, to develop crashworthiness standards for passenger buses, to equip passenger buses with crashworthy event data recorders, and to develop specific guidance for grade separation. The last recommendation of the report was for the City of Ottawa to review the need for grade separation at the level crossings at Woodroffe Avenue, Transitway and Fallowfield Road.


2013 Ottawa bus–train crash, Aftermath
On July 11, 2014, the City of Ottawa decided to retire OC Transpo route 76, replacing it with route 72 in the fall schedule. On the first anniversary of the incident, city facility flags were lowered to half-mast. In October 2015, a memorial park was opened beside the Fallowfield Park and Ride which features six sections honouring each of the six victims.


2013 Ottawa bus–train crash, Aftermath
On August 18, 2017, a survivor of the crash committed suicide. His family believes that his mental illness had been triggered by the events of the crash.


2013 Ottawa bus–train crash, Aftermath
Several lawsuits were filed against the City of Ottawa and the estate of the bus driver by families of those who died in the crash as well as survivors. By September 19, 2017, of the 39 lawsuits filed against the city, collectively claiming $26 million, 31 had been settled with actual settlement payments totalling $8 million. By January 18, 2019, 35 of the 39 lawsuits had been settled, with the total payout rising to $9.7 million.


2013 Ottawa bus–train crash, Aftermath
On February 26, 2016, the City of Ottawa stated that it will study whether underpasses or overpasses are required at five of the city's railway crossings, including the crossing involved in the crash.


2013 Outback Bowl
The 2013 Outback Bowl was a post-season American college football bowl game, held on January 1, 2013, at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, as part of the 2012–13 NCAA Bowl season. It was the 27th edition of the Outback Bowl, named after sponsor Outback Steakhouse, and was telecast at 1:00 p.m. ET on ESPN. It featured the South Carolina Gamecocks from the Southeastern Conference (SEC) versus the Michigan Wolverines from the Big Ten Conference. South Carolina won, 33–28.


2013 Outback Bowl, Teams
The Michigan Wolverines and South Carolina Gamecocks had met twice before, in the 1980s, and entered this contest with the series tied at 1-1.


2013 Outback Bowl, Teams, South Carolina
South Carolina entered the game with a 10–2 record, having lost to #14 AP Poll LSU and #9 Florida.


2013 Outback Bowl, Teams, Michigan
Michigan entered the game with an 8–4 record, having lost to #1 AP Poll: Alabama, #4 Notre Dame, #3 Ohio State and #25 Nebraska.


2013 Outback Bowl, The Hit
"The Hit"is widely considered to mark the turning point in the game for South Carolina and it earned a "Best Play" ESPY Award for South Carolina's Jadeveon Clowney.


2013 Outback Bowl, The Hit
"The Hit" refers to a play by defensive end Jadeveon Clowney which occurred midway during the fourth quarter of play. After a Wolverines fake punt, followed by a controversial call awarding Michigan a first down during a critical time-consuming drive, Clowney gained instant fame for his violent tackle of Michigan running back Vincent Smith that came with 8:21 remaining in the fourth quarter. "The Hit" dislodged Smith's helmet and forced a fumble that Clowney himself recovered. "The Hit" set up a touchdown pass to wide receiver Ace Sanders on the next play. Although "The Hit" itself did not result in the game-winning touchdown, it is considered by many to have motivated a previously lethargic Gamecock offense to rally and ultimately win the game.


2013 Ovation Awards

2013 Oxfordshire County Council election
An election to Oxfordshire County Council took place on 2 May 2013 as part of the 2013 United Kingdom local elections. 63 councillors were elected from 61 electoral divisions, which returned either one or two county councillors each by first-past-the-post voting for a four-year term of office. Following a boundary review, the electoral divisions were not the same as those used at the previous election in 2009. The election saw the Conservative Party lose overall control of the council as the party found itself one seat short of an overall majority.


2013 Oxfordshire County Council election
All locally registered electors (British, Irish, Commonwealth and European Union citizens) who were aged 18 or over on Thursday 2 May 2013 were entitled to vote in the local elections. Those who were temporarily away from their ordinary address (for example, away working, on holiday, in student accommodation or in hospital) were also entitled to vote in the local elections, although those who had moved abroad and registered as overseas electors cannot vote in the local elections.


2013 Oxfordshire County Council election
It is possible to register to vote at more than one address (such as a university student who had a term-time address and lives at home during holidays) at the discretion of the local Electoral Register Office, but it remains an offence to vote more than once in the same local government election.


2013 Oxfordshire County Council election, Aftermath
The Conservatives lost the overall majority that they had held on the council for eight years. They were however able to continue to govern in a minority administration with the support of three of the four independent councillors - Lynda Atkins, Mark Gray and Les Sibley.


2013 Oxfordshire County Council election, Aftermath
The support of these three independent councillors gave the Conservatives an overall majority of 34 out of 63 seats.


2013 Oznobishino bus crash
The 2013 Oznobishino bus crash occurred on 13 July 2013 at about 13:00 local time (09:00 UTC) when a bus carrying 64 people was hit by a KAMAZ truck in Oznobishino, Moscow Oblast, about 25 miles (40 km) southwest of Moscow. At least 18 people died and another 60 people were injured, with 12 of them in a critical condition. 14 of the victims died at the scene and another four died in hospital. The bus had been travelling from Podolsk to Kurkino when the accident occurred, ripping its back half off.


2013 Oznobishino bus crash, Crash
The truck driver was thrown out of his vehicle and survived the impact, as did the bus driver, though both were injured. The truck driver has been identified as a 46-year-old named Hrachya Harutyunyan (Арутюнян Грачья). The truck itself is reportedly owned by a private company. The Russian authorities declared the following Monday to be a day of mourning in Moscow following the accident. The driver was subsequently charged with violating traffic rules and faces up to seven years' imprisonment if convicted. Sogaz, the company responsible for insuring the bus, said that it would pay the families of each of the deceased a sum of around 2 million rubles ($60,000) in compensation, while the injured would receive around 600,000 rubles ($20,000) each.


2013 Oznobishino bus crash, Crash
The circumstances of the crash prompted a debate about whether the layout of the road had been a contributing factor and whether further measures were needed to crack down on bad driving. Andrei Vorobyov, the acting governor of the Moscow region, called for a tightening of the rules on public transport and goods vehicles. He also announced an inspection of the region's public buses and "difficult crossroads". Viktor Pokhmelkin, the head of the Movement of Russian Motorists, said that there was a history of frequent collisions at the intersection where the crash occurred.


2013 Oznobishino bus crash, Crash
A widely read Russian blogger, Rustem Adagamov, argued that the road from which the truck driver occurred was winding and lacked traffic signs, preventing the truck driver from seeing the bus in time, though a survivor from the bus said that she had seen the truck coming from some distance away. The truck may also have been overloaded and may have had faulty brakes.


2013 Oznobishino bus crash, Crash
Questions were also raised about tightening vehicle licensing rules. The truck had reportedly been using expired transit plates, temporary licence plates that are only supposed to be used on new cars. They are used illegally to evade vehicle checks in the police national vehicle database and to evade paying taxes. A Russian legislator proposed increasing the penalties for driving illegally using such plates, while another legislator announced measures requiring holders of foreign commercial drivers' licences to acquire an equivalent Russian driving licence.


2013 Oznobishino bus crash, Court hearings and reaction in Armenia
Court hearings of Hrachya Harutyunyan started on 15 July 2013. He was brought into the courthouse wearing inappropriate clothing, a women's dressing-gown. This sparked discontent in Armenia. A protest was held in front of the Russian embassy in Yerevan on 16 July.

2013 PDC-E
2013 PDC-E is a fictitious near-Earth object developed by Don Yeomans and others as the target of a table top emergency response drill at the International Academy of Astronautics  2013 Planetary Defense Conference. The drill was intended to give astronomers and other experts in asteroid and comet impact studies practice in responding to a hypothetical imminent impact with global consequences.


2013 PDC-E
The name 2013 PDC-E is a parody on minor planet naming conventions, PDC for Planetary Defense Conference, -E for exercise.


2013 PDC-E
The object is modeled after asteroid 367943 Duende, known as 2012 DA14 at the time. It is notionally a 300-meter-diameter stony asteroid that is part of the Aten dynamical family in 2013, when it is hypothetically observed by the Pan-STARRS telescope at a magnitude of 22.5. It migrates to the Apollo dynamical family over time. 2013 PDC-E is predicted in the exercise to pass through a dynamical keyhole of 1.2 km diameter in 2023 with a probability of 8%. If it did, it would strike Earth in 2028 with an impact velocity of 12.4 km/s, and an impact energy of approximately 700 megatons.

At No. 8, Dufner took the lead with a birdie to move to 11-under-par, and from that point onwards he was the sole leader.

Furyk bogeyed the ninth hole and from that point until the end of the championship the margin was affixed at two strokes. At No. 16, both golfers made birdie to go to 12-under and 10-under-par respectively, however at the subsequent two holes they made bogeys to finish out their respective rounds at 10-under and 8-under-par. Dufner shot a two-under-par round of 68 to Furyk's one-over-par, 71. Henrik Stenson, who started the day two shots out of the lead, pulled within one stroke after eagling the fourth hole, but never really threatened the leaders after that and finished the tournament in solo third place.

2013 Pacific hurricane season
The 2013 Pacific hurricane season was the first to see twenty named storms since 2009 but also had the ninth fewest ACE units on record, as many of the storms were weak and short-lived. The season officially began on May 15 in the Eastern Pacific and started on June 1 in the Central Pacific. Both ended on November 30. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the eastern Pacific basin. However, the formation of a storm is possible at any time.


2013 Pacific hurricane season
The second storm of the season, Hurricane Barbara, brought widespread heavy rains to much of Southwestern Mexico and Central America. Damage estimates from the storm range from $50 to $356 million (2013 USD); four people were killed and four others are reportedly missing. In addition to Barbara, Hurricane Cosme killed three people despite remaining far offshore the Mexican coast. Hurricane Erick also brought slight effects to the region as well, killing two people. Later that month, Tropical Storm Flossie threatened to become the first storm to strike Hawaii in 20 years, causing minimal damage.


2013 Pacific hurricane season
Ivo and Juliette both threatened Baja California Sur, and the former triggered flash floods across the Southwestern United States. In mid-September, Hurricane Manuel killed at least 169 people in Mexico, and was responsible for significant damage to the western coast and the area around Acapulco. In late October, Hurricane Raymond became the strongest storm and only major hurricane of the season.


2013 Pacific hurricane season, Seasonal forecasts
On May 21, the Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC) released its forecast for tropical activity across the Central Pacific during 2013. In its report, the organization predicted a 70 percent chance of a below-average season, a 25 percent chance of a near-average season, and a 5 percent chance of an above-average season, equating to 1–3 tropical cyclones across the basin. An average season yields 4–5 tropical cyclones. This forecast was based primarily on the expectation of Neutral El Niño–Southern Oscillation conditions and a continuation of the positive Atlantic multidecadal oscillation.


2013 Pacific hurricane season, Seasonal forecasts
Two days later, the Climate Prediction Center (CPC) issued its forecast for tropical activity across the East Pacific during 2013. With near or below average sea surface temperatures in the eastern equatorial Pacific and a continuation of the climate pattern responsible for the ongoing era of low Pacific hurricane activity that began in 1995, the organization called for a 55 percent chance of a below-average season, a 35 percent chance of a near-average season, and a 10 percent chance of an above-average season.


2013 Pacific hurricane season, Seasonal forecasts
In total, the CPC predicted 11–16 named storms, 5–8 hurricanes, and 1–4 major hurricanes; an average season yields 15.4 named storms, 8.4 hurricanes, and 3.9 major hurricanes. Both the CPHC and CPC stressed the importance of being prepared prior to the start of the season, noting that significant tropical cyclones can occur even in below-average seasons.


2013 Pacific hurricane season, Seasonal summary
The accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) index for the 2013 Pacific hurricane season in total is 75.2625 units (68.81 units in the Eastern Pacific and 6.4525 units in the Central Pacific).


2013 Pacific hurricane season, Seasonal summary
The season's first tropical storm formed on May 15, coinciding with the official start of the Pacific hurricane season. On average, a tropical cyclone develops in May in the eastern Pacific every other year. The formation of Barbara in late May marked only the fifth time since 1949 that two tropical storms formed during the month, with the other seasons being 1956, 1984, 2007, 2012, and  2021.


2013 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Alvin
A tropical wave was first observed over the southeastern Caribbean Sea on May 4. The wave entered the East Pacific a few days later, where atmospheric conditions allowed for gradual development. Curved bands of convection developed around a defined center early on May 15, leading to the formation of a tropical depression around 06:00 UTC that day; at 7.8°N, the depression tied 1976's Hurricane Annette as the second-lowest-latitude tropical cyclone to form in the East Pacific. Twelve hours later, the depression intensified into Tropical Storm Alvin.


2013 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Alvin
Influenced by a subtropical ridge over central Mexico, Alvin steadily strengthened and reached peak winds of 60 mph (95 km/h) early on May 16. Thereafter, increasing wind shear and the introduction of mid-level dry air caused the cyclone to begin a quick weakening trend. The low-level circulation became increasingly elongated and opened up into a trough at 00:00 UTC on May 17. Six hours later, Alvin dissipated while located about 775 mi (1,245 km) southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico.


2013 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Barbara
A tropical wave emerged off the western coast of Africa on May 16, entering the East Pacific on May 24. Following the passage of an atmospheric kelvin wave, a broad area of low pressure formed and gradually organized as convection simultaneously increased. At 12:00 UTC on May 28, the wave was declared a tropical depression; six hours later, the depression intensified into Tropical Storm Barbara. Steered northeastward amid favorable atmospheric conditions, a period of rapid deepening ensued, and the system was upgraded to a Category 1 hurricane at 18:00 UTC on May 29.


2013 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Barbara
At 19:50 UTC that day, Barbara attained peak winds of 80 mph (130 km/h) as it moved ashore west-southwest of Tonalá, Chiapas. The cyclone quickly weakened thereafter as it passed over the Sierra Madre mountain range. At 00:00 UTC on May 30, Barbara weakened to a tropical storm, and by six hours later, it further weakened to a tropical depression. After losing its deep convection, the depression degenerated into a remnant low at 12:00 UTC, while located over the Bay of Campeche. The remnant low opened into a trough at 00:00 UTC on May 31.


2013 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Barbara
The precursor disturbance brought rainfall to El Salvador, where one person was killed. In Mexico, rainfall peaked at 470 mm (19 in). Even though Hurricane Barbara struck a largely undeveloped stretch of coastal lagoons, containing small fishing villages, two elderly people were killed in Oaxaca. Furthermore, 14 fishermen were left missing off the coast of Tapanatepec; eight of which were found alive. The towns of Tonala and Arriaga were the worst affected by the hurricane. Although damage was minor, 50 people were evacuated and 2,000 homes were damaged. Throughout the region, 57,000 people were homeless and 10,000 hectares of crops were destroyed. Total economic losses were estimated at 4.53 billion pesos (US$358 million).


2013 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Cosme
A tropical wave, the same responsible for Tropical Storm Barry in the Atlantic, moved across the eastern Pacific in late June, yielding a broad area of low pressure by June 21. Northwesterly shear initially hindered development of the system, but a subsequent decrease in upper-level winds, as well as the passage of an eastward-moving kelvin wave, led to the formation of a tropical depression by 12:00 UTC on June 23; twelve hours later, the depression intensified into Tropical Storm Cosme.


2013 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Cosme
Steered northwest and eventually west-northwest, the cyclone intensified amid favorable atmospheric dynamics, becoming a minimal hurricane by 12:00 UTC on June 25 and attaining peak winds of 85 mph (135 km/h) twelve hours later. A track over cooler waters and into an increasingly stable environment caused Cosme to weaken to a tropical storm by 18:00 UTC on June 26 and further degenerate into a remnant low by 12:00 UTC the next day while located about 690 mi (1,110 km) west-southwest of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The remnant low tracked westward prior to dissipating well east-southeast of the Hawaiian Islands on July 1.


2013 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Cosme
Due to the storm's large size, a "green" alert (low risk) was issued for the states of Colima, Jalisco and Michoacán while a "blue" alert (minimum risk) was placed into effect for the states of Nayarit, Guerrero, and Baja California Sur. As the system passed through the Revillagigedo Islands, winds reached 42 mph (68 km/h) on Socorro Island. The outer rainbands brought moderate rains to Guerrero, causing minor flooding in Acapulco. Across the state, the storm generated 24 landslides, which blocked highways.

Two people were killed in the Guerrero, one a tourist that drowned in Zihuatanejo and the other a police officer in an airplane crash that injured 19 others. High seas flooded numerous buildings across coastal towns in Colima, damaging 34 tourist facilities and killing one person. Additionally, many restaurants built of wood and coconut were damaged. In Manzanillo, the port was closed to small craft, as was the port of Mazatlán. Overall, 50 homes were damaged by the storm.


2013 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Dalila
A tropical wave was first observed over the central Atlantic on June 17. It entered the East Pacific on June 24 and steadily organized, acquiring enough organization to be declared a tropical depression by 18:00 UTC on June 29. Twelve hours later, it was upgraded to Tropical Storm Dalila. Steered northwest parallel to the coastline of Mexico, the cyclone only slowly organized despite favorable conditions, becoming a Category 1 hurricane by 12:00 UTC on July 2.

After attaining peak winds of 80 mph (130 km/h) six hours later, the influence of drier air and increasing shear caused the storm to begin a weakening trend. At 18:00 UTC on July 3, Dalila was downgraded to a tropical storm, and by 00:00 UTC on July 5, the system further weakened to a tropical depression. After becoming devoid of convection, Dalila degenerated into a remnant low at 06:00 UTC on July 7 while located roughly 460 mi (740 km) south-southwest of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The low turned east-northeastward into the circulation of Tropical Storm Erick thereafter, dissipating late on July 8.

When Dalila threatened Western Mexico, the states of Colima, Michoacán, and Jalisco went under a yellow alert; Nayarit was placed on a green alert. Blue alerts were issued for Baja California Sur, Sinaloa, Guerrero, and Oaxaca. The port of Manzanillo was closed as a precaution, where the storm brought rain and storm surge. The outer rainbands of the storm also brought moderate to heavy rainfall along coastal areas of Colima and Jalisco. A total of 49 structures were damaged due to the storm.

A tropical wave moved off the western coast of Africa on June 18 and continued westward across Central America and into the eastern Pacific by June 29. It subsequently interacted with a large cyclonic gyre, leading to an increase in convective activity and the formation of an area of low pressure.

Following satellite and microwave data, the disturbance was upgraded to a tropical depression at 1200 UTC on July 4. Initially, moderate easterly shear prevented much organization as the system tracked west-northwest; however, a reprieve in upper-level winds by 0000 UTC on July 5 allowed the depression to intensify into Tropical Storm Erick as convective bands gained more curvature.

A period of steady intensification over the next day allowed the system to attain Category 1 hurricane intensity at 0600 UTC and reach its peak with winds of 80 mph (130 km/h) and a minimum barometric pressure of 983 mb (hPa; 29.03 inHg) six hours later. Decreasing ocean temperatures caused the convective appearance to deteriorate at a steady pace; by 1800 UTC on July 7, Erick weakened to a tropical storm, and by 0600 UTC on July 9, the system no longer sustained enough organization to be considered a tropical cyclone.

The outer rainbands of the storm brought gusty winds just offshore the Mexican coast. In Acapulco and Puerto Marques, the storm was responsible for minor flooding. Elsewhere across the state, most of the damage was due to landslides. Along the coast of Colima, 9-foot (2.7 m) waves were recorded. Although some flooding was reported across the state, damage was minor. Further north, in Nayarit, however, damage was extensive. One woman died. One river overflowed its banks, which directly affected numerous cities. The Mexican military and officials in Nayarit attempted to rescue hundreds of people affected by Hurricane Erick.


2013 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Flossie
A tropical wave moved off the western coast of Africa on July 9 and crossed Central America on July 18. The disturbance initially lacked a well-defined center until early on July 25 as convection steadily increased, leading the formation of a tropical depression at 00:00 UTC that day; six hours later, the depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Flossie. Steered westward amid a favorable environment, the cyclone steadily intensified, attaining peak winds of 70 mph (115 km/h) at 12:00 UTC on July 27 as an eye became evident on satellite imagery. Flossie crossed into the Central Pacific shortly thereafter, where increasing wind shear prompted a gradual weakening trend. At 00:00 UTC on July 30, the system weakened to a tropical depression; twelve hours later, it degenerated into a remnant low while located near the northern coast of Kauai.

Following Flossie's crossing into the Central Pacific Hurricane Center's warning zone, a tropical storm watch was issued for Hawaii and Maui counties on July 27. All Maui County parks were closed due to the storm as county authorities activated emergency operations. Upon becoming the first storm to directly hit the state in 20 years, gusty winds downed trees and power lines. More than 9,000 residences were without electricity across the state, with most outages concentrated in Kihei, Maui, and Puna.


2013 Pacific hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Gil
The formation of Gil is attributed to a tropical wave that departed the west coast of Africa on July 16 and entered the East Pacific on July 24. Initially disheveled, the wave slowly organized as convection increased and its associated center became better defined, leading to the formation of a tropical depression at 12:00 UTC on July 30; six hours later, the depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Gil.
