SAN CARLOS, Mexico, (Reuters) – Hurricane Jimena smashed flimsy buildings, bent trees and tore fishing boats from their moorings as it collided with Mexico’s Baja California peninsula yesterday.
Ports at San Carlos, La Paz, Los Cabos and Topolobampo were shut as Jimena pummeled the coast and desert towns inland with winds as high as 100 mph (160 kph) and torrential rains that forecasters said could cause dangerous floods and mudslides.
