Hurricane Roslyn makes landfall in Mexico

Hurricane Roslyn slammed into a populated stretch of Mexico's Pacific coast between the resorts of Puerto Vallarta and Mazatlan Sunday morning, then declined to tropical storm force and quickly moved inland.

By Sunday evening, Roslyn had winds of 35 mph , down from its peak of 130 mph. The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Roslyn was about 60 miles east-southeast of the northern city of Torreon.

The hurricane was moving northeast at 21 miles per hour and was expected to lose strength further as it moved inland.

The center expects Roslyn would dissipate before reaching Texas. The hurricane made landfall around the village of Santa Cruz, near the fishing village of San Blas, about 90 miles north of Puerto Vallarta. Roslyn blew down trees and flooded some streets.

The Federal Electricity Commission reported that over 150,000 homes had lost power as a result of the storm, and that by midday Sunday, service had been restored to about one-third of those customers.

The National Water Commission said rains from Roslyn could cause mudslides and flooding and the U.S. hurricane center warned that heavy rains could cause flash flooding and landslides over the rugged terrain inland.
