Hurricane Norma makes landfall near Mexico’s Los Cabos

Hurricane Norma came ashore near the resorts of Los Cabos at the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula on Saturday afternoon, and hours later Hurricane Tammy made landfall on the Caribbean island of Barbuda.
Both storms were Category 1 hurricanes when they hit.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Norma, once a Category 4 hurricane, moved ashore with winds of 130 kph near el Pozo de Cota, west-northwest of Cabo San Lucas.
Norma later weakened to a tropical storm with 110 kph winds as it crossed the Baja California Peninsula and by late Saturday it was nearing the Sea of Cortez, also known as the Gulf of California.
Businesses in Cabo San Lucas had nailed plywood over their windows, and government personnel hung banners warning people not to try to cross gullies and stream beds after Norma regained strength and again became a major storm Friday.
