Hurricane Lidia is taking aim at Mexico's Pacific coast resort of Puerto Vallarta
Hurricane Lidia took aim Tuesday at Mexico’s Pacific coast resort of Puerto Vallarta, and forecasters said it could have winds up to 105 mph when it hits land later in the day or early Wednesday. The hurricane is expected to sweep over a spit of land before hitting the bay where Puerto Vallarta is located, which could cushion the blow somewhat. Local authorities cancelled classes in communities around the coast.
The expected impact comes one day after Tropical Storm Max hit the southern Pacific coast, hundred of miles away, and then dissipated. The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Lidia had winds of about 85 mph early Tuesday, but was expected to strengthen to about 105 mph before making landfall. Lidia was centered early Tuesday about 235 miles west-southwest of Puerto Vallarta, and was moving east-north-east at about 13 mph .
