The Category 5 hurricane with winds of 160 mph was veering away from a Baja California summit of world leaders. A hurricane watch was posted for a 200-mile area between Cabo Corrientes and the tourist center of Mazatlan, and a tropical storm watch extended another 125 miles southeast from Cabo Corrientes to Manzanillo. “This is a potentially devastat ing hurricane if it comes in at this intensity or even if it weakens a little bit,’’ said Ed Rappaport. deputy director of the National Hurricane Center in Miami. “Based on the records, which go back 40 or 50 years, this would be one of the two or three strongest” hurricanes to hit Mexico’s Pacific coast if it does not weaken substantially, Rappaport said. By midday Thursday, Kenna was centered about 270 miles southwest of Cabo Corrientes, the tip of land that juts into the Pacific south of the tourist resort of Puerto Vallarta. Kenna, which had been mov ing to the northwest earlier, was headed to the north at 10 mph, but forecasters said it was expected to veer to the northeast and crash into the coast. The Hurricane Center fore cast said some weakening was expected by Friday evening, but that “Kenna is expected to be an extremely dangerous hurricane at landfall.” Hurricane Kenn Position: 17.8 N,108.7W Sustained winds: 160mpli Movement: N 10 mph Hurricane warning As of 5 p m.

The firings, announced Wednesday by Transportation Security Administration, are the first among the 44,000 security screeners hired by the federal government to safeguard airports after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The man was seen on surveil lance tape entering through the checkpoint's exit on Oct. 15; offi cials said an investigation found it took security agents six minutes to call police and shut down the terminal. Police never found the man.
