路透社- Dangerous hurricane heads for Mexico
Tuesday September 1, 2009 - 08:44 EST
Hurricane Jimena, a dangerous Category 5 storm, is churning toward Mexico's
Baja California peninsula, headed for the upscale Los Cabos resort where
residents sandbagged their homes and tourists stocked up on food.
Jimena, which built up fast over the weekend, got even stronger, packing
winds up to 240 kilometres per hour.
According to the five-step Saffir-Simpson intensity scale, Category 5
hurricanes are "extremely dangerous" and can cause devastating damage if they
hit land.
"I'm scared. I'm taking the kids back to the hotel right now. I hope we'll be
safe there," said tourist Gigi Hernandez from California.
Much of Baja California is sparsely populated desert and mountains but Los
Cabos is a lively resort area popular with US tourists for its world-class
golf courses, yachting and beaches.
The US National Hurricane Centre forecast Jimena would hit the area on
Tuesday (local time) and move inland a day later.
It predicted significant coastal flooding and said: "Preparations to protect
life and property should be rushed to completion."
Jimena could dump up to 10 inches (25 centimetres) of rain on the southern
portion of Baja California.
The storm was about 545 kilometres south of Cabo San Lucas and moving
northwest, roughly parallel to the Mexican coastline, 13kph. Hurricane-force
winds extended outward up to 45 kilometres from its centre.
Jimena is the second hurricane of the 2009 eastern Pacific season to brush
close to Mexico after Andres pounded the coast in June and swept a fisherman
to his death in Acapulco.
