STORYLINE:
Hurricane Ignacio drenched fishermen and tourists on Monday along Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula , where it was stalled after forcing more than 3,000 people to evacuate.
Strong winds made it very difficult for Mexican sailors to pull yachts and cruisers off the rocks in the harbour of La Paz, the state capital and a centre for fishermen and tourists.
The hurricane tore up a highway, blew down beach huts and knocked down trees with winds that topped 145 kph- kilometres per hour (90 mph- miles per hour) . Power was cut to La Paz.
Rear Admiral Joaquin Garcia Silva said those aboard small civilian boats had been evacuated to shore, leaving behind a few craft loose on the storm-tossed waters.
By midday, the US National Hurricane Center said Ignacio’s maximum sustained winds had slipped to about 130 kph (80 mph), but the storm had stalled about 32 kilometres (20 miles) northeast of La Paz.
Forecasters said the storm was likely to crawl slowly up the southern Gulf of California toward Loreto while gradually edging over the peninsula itself.
Hotels in Loreto and La Paz each receive about 40,000 foreign tourists, mostly US citizens, a year, according to statistics from Mexico’s tourism department.
Storm warnings were posted for the coasts of both Baja California and mainland Mexico in a major commercial and recreational fishing zone.
It was unclear if the storm would eventually move far enough north to bring rain to the southwestern United States.
