U.S. NATIONAL NEWS
from Eyewitness News Online Ida becomes hurricane as it nears Cancun, Mexico November 08, 2009 12:05 AM MIAMI Ida has strengthened to a hurricane over the Caribbean as it nears Cancun, Mexico. Forecaster Todd Kimberlain with the the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami says Ida's winds have picked up to 75 mph . The storm is expected to pass between Mexico and Cuba on Sunday, with its center remaining offshore. Forecasters predict Ida will enter the Gulf of Mexico, eventually weaken again to tropical storm strength and possibly brush the U.S. Gulf Coast next week. Tropical storm warnings are in effect for parts of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, as well as Western Cuba and Grand Cayman Island. A hurricane watch is also in effect for part of the Yucatan. Late Saturday, Ida was centered about 120 miles east-southeast of Cozumel and moving northwest at about 12 mph (19 kph). |
