Hurricane Norma makes landfall in Mexico

Hurricane Norma hit into Mexico's northwestern coast on Saturday as a Category 1 storm, bringing dangerous rain and flooding, authorities said. The storm came ashore about 25 kilometers the northwest of the resort city of Cabo San Lucas on the Baja California coast, gradually weakening from a Category 3 as it approached land. Norma was moving up to 130 kph, the National Hurricane Center reported.
Life-threatening surf and rip current conditions would affect the coast of southwestern and west-central Mexico and Baja California Sur for the next couple of days. No casualties have been reported by authorities. Norma should continue to weaken to a tropical storm as it moves toward the west coast of Mexico on Sunday.
