Hurricane Season Continues in California and Mexico

Mazatlan, Mexico (HDW) October 26, 2004 – A severe storm known by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) as Tropical Depression 16-E is approaching west-central Mexico near the resort town of Mazatlan. Although the storm has not reached hurricane levels, it is causing heavy rainfall throughout that region of Mexico. The storm is moving north-northeast at near 18 miles per hour, and there is a remote chance that it could hit western California this week. It is unlikely that Tropical Depression 16-E will hit California, and it is more likely that it will lose strength as it moves inland within Mexico. The picture displayed above from a NASA satellite shows the size and fury of this storm as it hits Mexico. (full article...)
