CHETUMAL, Mexico (AP) — Coastal resi
dents of Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula and north
eastern Belize fled their homes Sunday as the dan
gerous core of Hurricane Keith came ashore,
bringing strong wind and torrential rain.
With the storm packing 125-mph winds,
scores of people in Chetumal, a bay-side city of
130,000, abandoned their homes. Many live in
low-lying areas, in shacks made of wooden slats
and cardboard.
Mexican authorities set up 15 shelters and
evacuated 800 people from high-risk areas in the
region, about 190 miles south of Cancun.
Many residents seemed to take the weather in
stride; families waded through streets flooded
with ankle-deep water. Others rode bikes through
the pounding rain and old men drank coffee on a
covered sidewalk.
Hurricane Keith was stationary Sundayafter-
noon, about 50 miles south-southeast of Chetu
mal, and about 40 miles northeast of Belize City,
where power lines were reported down, said the
National Hurricane Center in Miami.
The U.S. government issued a travel warning
to Americans in Belize because of extensive
flooding, the State Department said. Peace Corps
volunteers and U.S. government employees in
non-emergency jobs were moved out..
The Belize village of San Pedro was one of the
hardest-hit areas, Red Cross officials said. Winds
battering the village were clocked at 83 mph be
fore the instrument measuring the wind broke.
Gusts were reported up to 110 mph.
“We have reports that roofs are blowing off
houses,” said Judith Reid, of the Red Cross in Be
lize City. "The rain is coming on strong and the
wind is picking up here, and we are stil I far south
of where the action is.”
Forecasters warned of flash floods and mud
slides as heavy rain fell throughout Belize, Hon
duras, Guatemala and Nicaragua, although the
slow-fnoving hurricane was expected to weaken
as it moved inland.
There were no reports of deaths or injuries by
midday in the state of Quintana Roo, where!
mal is located, said Jose Irabien, an official
governor’s office.
“The stonn is acting strange, usually the
are a lot stronger than this when a storm
nitude is this close, but this time we haven!
that," Irabien said. “We're working 24houri,
to keep people informed and to help anyone
needs it.”
Maria de la Cruz, from the nearby coi
of Izcalac, abandoned her shack Saturday
husband, five children and four other relatives
“They told us it’s going to hit hard,”
Cruz, one of 217 area residents sleeping
school in Chetumal. "Thank God we haves
place to go.”
A hurricane warning remained in effect;
day along the Yucatan peninsula’s eastern
from Cabo Catoche south to Monkey
Town. Belize. A hurricane watch was ineffet
the Yucatan’s north coast, west of CaboCa:
to Progreso.
