Hurricane Threatens Mexico's Coast
Raymond says hello
A hurricane with sustained winds of up to 120 mph was spinning off of Mexico's Pacific coast on Monday, threatening to bring more suffering to a country still recovering from dozens of deaths and massive destruction caused by a combined hurricane and tropical storm last month.
Hurricane Raymond, classified as a Category 3 storm, was about 125 miles south-southwest of the resort city of Zihuatanejo early Monday morning, its eye approximately 12 miles wide, according to Conagua, Mexico's national water commission. The storm was creeping northward toward the coast at a rate of about 2 mph, it said.
Officials said it was the first Category 3 storm of the year for Mexico.
