Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 17 Oct, 11:32 · Archive
Hurricane Trudy is moving toward Mexico's Pacific coast with maximum sustained winds of 90 mph.
Hurricane Trudy moved toward southwestern and west-central areas of Mexico's Pacific coast on Friday night as a Category 1 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 90 mph. The centre was about 240 miles west-southwest of Acapulco and about 215 miles south-southeast of Manzanillo, moving northwest at 8 mph. A hurricane warning was in effect from Manzanillo in Colima state to Cabo Corrientes in Jalisco, with forecasters saying the storm could continue growing through Saturday.
The Mexican navy urged maritime communities and coastal residents to exercise extreme caution due to high waves, heavy rains and risks of rising river levels, flooding and landslides. The state of Colima said risks were currently low but the storm could bring significant rainfall with damaging effects due to saturated ground following successive recent storms. Trudy is expected to produce 4 to 8 inches of rain through the weekend, with isolated higher totals around 15 inches.
Meanwhile in the Pacific, Typhoon Champi was intensifying and moving west toward Guam at 15 mph with maximum sustained winds increasing to 100 mph. A typhoon warning was issued for Guam and Rota, with tropical storm warnings for Tinian, Saipan and nearby areas.
