While cleaning out an old file this morning I came across a printout from Wikipedia about the 1959 hurricane that came ashore in this area as a Category 5 - the only (recorded) Cat. 5 ever to make landfall in the Pacific. Here's a link to the article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1959_Mexico_hurricane Unisys gives the coordinates for this storm as 19.3/104.8 to 19.7/104.4 on October 27th (L.M.'s coordinates are 19.16/104.4). This must be the storm Mokita wrote about so movingly a few months ago. Here's the link: http://weather.unisys.com/hurricane/e_pacific/1959/index.html It's listed as "hurricane #15", a late season storm - October 23 to October 29.
