Jimena makes landfall on Baja California peninsula
Comments 0 | Recommend 0LOS CABOS, Mexico (AP) — Hurricane Jimena has made landfall on Mexico's Baja California peninsula with winds of about 85 mph (140 kph).
The storm has been tearing off roofs, knocking down power poles and bringing welcome rainfall to the drought-stricken state Wednesday.
The National Hurricane Center in Miami says the center of the storm made landfall between Puerto San Andresito and San Jaunico during the past few hours.
Winds have fallen from Tuesday's roaring 150 mph (240 kph) Category 4 blasts. The Hurricane Center says the storm is expected to weaken more as it runs up the Baja peninsula, which is home to about 3.5 million people. That includes more than 150,000 U.S. citizens.
