Escalation: Hurricane Simon intensifies: Category 4 threat to Jalisco
The eye of Hurricane Simon sat just off Mexico’s Pacific coast early Sunday. The storm packed 155 mph winds, just below the top category on the hurricane scale. It was about 60 miles west-southwest of Manzanilla, moving north-northwest at 6 mph, and was expected to move inland later in the day.
Rainfall of 10 to 20 inches is expected across parts of southwestern Mexico, with up to 30 inches in Michoacan, Colima and Jalisco. The rainfall will produce life-threatening flooding and mudslides, especially in areas of steep terrain. Jalisco suspended classes on Friday and Monday in 22 coastal municipalities, began evacuating dozens from at-risk areas, and asked Puerto Vallarta’s tourism sector to house workers and visitors in shelters or safe zones.
