Someone just sent me this: This emergency message is being issued to alert U.S. citizens residing and traveling in Mexico that the National Hurricane Center (NHC, www.nhc.noaa.gov) forecasts Hurricane Bud, currently a category two hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale, is approaching Mexico's Pacific coast. The NHC has issued a hurricane warning for the coast of Mexico from Punta San Telmo northwest to Cabo Corrientes and a tropical storm warning from Cabo Corrientes north to San Blas. The National Hurricane Center reports that Hurricane Bud is moving in from the Pacific Ocean and is expected to approach Mexico's coast on the afternoon of Friday, May 25, most likely affecting the coasts of Jalisco and Colima and including the resort areas of Puerto Vallarta/Ribera Nayarit and Manzanillo. As of Thursday afternoon, maximum sustained winds are near 110 MPH with higher gusts. More information about Hurricane Bud from the NHC can be found at: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/?epac. Proteccion Civil, the Mexican agency in charge of emergency preparedness, is also monitoring the storm and more information can be found at their websites: http://proteccioncivil.jalisco.gob.mx/index.html (Jalisco), http://www.proteccioncivil.gob.mx/en/ProteccionCivil/Colima1 (Colima), and http://www.proteccioncivil.gob.mx/es/ProteccionCivil/Nayarit2 (Nayarit).
