CAT 4 Hurricane headed for Mexico (Baja California)
http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/national_world&id=6990076

PUERTO VALLARTA, Mexico -- Jimena strengthened into a dangerous Category 4 hurricane off Mexico's Pacific coast Sunday, and forecasters said it could hit the Baja California peninsula as a major storm in the coming days.
Jimena kicked up surf along the northwestern coast and generated strong winds that bent trees in the resort town of Zihuatanejo, uprooting at least one. Strong waves and wind prevented a couple on a boat from reaching port, forcing them to spend the night at sea, said Zihuatanejo coast guard official Jose Angel Lara.

If Jimena stays on its northwestern track, it would carry hurricane-force winds to the tip of resort-dotted Baja California by late Monday and slam into the peninsula by Wednesday morning, said Richard Pasch, a senior specialist with the National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida.
Pasch said Jimena's path "is subject to some uncertainty" and that it is difficult to predict exactly how strong the storm will be when it nears Baja.

4. Ok folks here is a question for people
you realize we do not get these storms this far north?

This is more evidence to global weather change and was predicted by the science.

Ain't science great? So how long until we get an honest to goodness hurricane?

5. The tail end of a hurricane came through Yuma about 10 years ago.
