Hurricane Jimena Heads for Mexico Resort
Mexico issued a hurricane warning for the area.
(Reuters) Hurricane Jimena grew into a highly dangerous storm as it raced toward Mexico’s Baja California peninsula on Monday 31 of August, scaring tourists, prompting residents to sandbag homes and disrupting a top-level finance conference.
Much of Baja California is sparsely populated desert and mountains that are popular with nature lovers, surfers, sport fishermen and retirees. Los Cabos, which is more built up, attracts tourists to its golf courses, resorts and beaches.
The port of Cabo San Lucas was shut and a line of trailers formed as yachts, water taxis and glass-bottomed tourist boats were removed from the water for safety reasons.
Mexico issued a hurricane warning for the area. The Hurricane Center predicted significant coastal flooding and said: “Preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion.”
