PUERTO VALLARTA,
Mexico (AP) — Hurricane
Kenna grew into one of the
strongest storms to menace
Mexico’s Pacific coast in
decades on Thursday, with fore
casters urging emergency action
to protect an area that includes
major tourist resorts.
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.”
