Marty develops into hurricane, threatens southern Baja California
Sunday,September21,2003,5:37 PM
Mexico City-AP -- Hurricane Isabel has passed. Now residents in parts of Mexico are being told to get ready for Hurricane Marty. The Mexican government has a hurricane warning issued for the southern tip of the Baja California coast after Marty's winds reached hurricane force.
Latest word on the storm's location puts it about 205 miles south of the southern tip of Baja California with winds gusting over 80 miles-per-hour.
The National Hurricane Center in Miami expects Marty to pass within about 65 miles of Los Cabos sometime tomorrow.
But longer-term forecasts show the hurricane will lose strength after moving across the peninsula later in the week and eventually move north around the Arizona border.
