Category 4 Hurricane Jimena Threatens Mexico

Mexico — Residents stocked up on food and authorities set up shelters as a strengthening Hurricane Jimena pushed toward Mexico's resort-studded Baja California peninsula on Monday.
Mexico issued a hurricane watch for the southern portion of Baja, meaning hurricane conditions are possible within 36 hours.
Jimena, a dangerous Category 4 storm, could rake southern Baja California by Tuesday evening, forecasters said,
"I think it's going to be a substantial hurricane by the time it approaches," said Richard Pasch, a senior specialist with the National
Hurricane Center in Miami. Click on the pic to track the storm.
