Authorities are warning people in northwest Mexico to stay alert as a Category 1 hurricane moves toward land in the Pacific.
Heavy rain already flooded parts of Hermosillo late Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning. Now, the region is gearing up for Hurricane Lorena to make landfall.
The U.S. State Department warned of “extremely hazardous” conditions on the Pacific Coast in Baja California and Baja California Sur. Mexican officials say the storm is moving parallel to the coast and could result in intense wind and rain in those states, as well in Sonora.
Officials say the storm will most likely affect the central and southeastern Sonora.
The State Department says U.S. citizens in the area should monitor the storm’s progress and avoid entering the water in dangerous conditions.
