Hurricane Katina was the most intense hurricane in the Bay of Camper since Hurricane Karl in 2010. The eleventh named storm and sixth hurricane of the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season, Katina originated on September 5 out of a broad area of low pressure that formed in the Bay of Camper. Located in an area of weak steering currents, Katina meandered around in the region, eventually intensifying into a hurricane on September 6. The nascent storm eventually peaked in intensity on September 8 as it began to move southwest towards land, however it deteriorated in strength just prior to making landfall near Collate, Mexico on September 8. The storm dissipated the next day, although its mid-level circulation remained intact and later spawned what would become Hurricane Otis in the Eastern Pacific.

Although damage estimates were unknown, two deaths were confirmed to have been related to the hurricane due to subsequent mudslides, and approximately 77,000 people were left without power at the height of the storm. Coincidentally, the storm struck Mexico just days after a major earthquake struck the country, worsening aftereffects and recovery. Hurricane Katina marked the first instance of three simultaneously active hurricanes since 2010. Katina's peak marked the second known time in Atlantic history and the first time since 1893 that three simultaneously active storms were at least of Category 2 strength.
