Hurricane Raymond May Batter Mexico's Pacific Coast Less Than a Month After Destructive Storm, Hurricane Ingrid

Hurricane Raymond may batter the coast of Mexico.

Hurricane Raymond is currently just off Mexico's Pacific Coast.

Hurricane Raymond is hovering over Mexico’s Pacific Costs. The storm has winds of up to 120 mph.

Hurricane Raymond may batter Mexico, which is still recovering from a combination of hurricanes and tropical storms caused dozens of deaths and massive destruction last month.

Hurricane Raymond is classified as a Category 3 storm. Mexico’s national water commission Conagua said this is the first Category 3 storm of the year for Mexico.

The Mexican Interior Ministry said workers are setting up 770 temporary shelters in Guerrero.

As of this writing, Hurriane Raymond is about 125 miles south-southwest of the resort city of Zihuatanejo. Mexico’s national water commission Conagua said the eye of Hurricane Raymond is about 12 miles wide. Hurricane Raymond is moving toward Mexico at a rate of about 2 mph.

The strongest effects, including wind gusts that could hit 149 mph, are likely to be felt along a stretch of coast in the state of Guerrero that lies northwest of Acapulco and includes the Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa resort area and the important port city of Lazaro Cardenas, in the state of Michoacan, near the Guerrero border.

Mexico’s Gulf Coast was hit hard by Hurricane Ingrid last month.
