A powerful Hurricane Odile closed in on the resort area of Los Cabos on Sunday night as Mexican authorities evacuated vulnerable coastal areas and readied shelters for up to 30,000 people, ABC news reported.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said Odile's core was on a track to cross onto the south end of Baja California late Sunday and move near or over the southern portion of the peninsula Monday and Tuesday.
Rain was falling by midafternoon, hours before the storm's expected arrival. Gusty winds whipped palm trees, waves pounded the rocky shore and fluttering black flags signaled that beaches were closed due to high surf.
Odile's maximum sustained winds were 125 (205 kph) Sunday night, after being as high as 135 mph earlier in the day. Its center was about 30 miles (45 kilometers) south-southeast of the southern tip of Baja California and moving to the north-northwest at 17 mph (28 kph).
