STORYLINE:
Hurricane Ignacio sideswiped the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula on Sunday, threatening to batter the region with winds topping 105 miles (168 kilometres) per hour.
Authorities closed all ports and airports in the vicinity and evacuated low-lying areas.
The hurricane gathered force as it pushed into the narrow Gulf of California, hugging the edge of this desert peninsula sprinkled with golf courses and five-star hotels.
As the storm coasted north, the governor of Baja California Sur state, Mexico, announced the evacuation of about 6,000 people in low-lying areas in La Paz, 50 miles (80 kilometres) north of Cabo San Lucas, and smaller communities further south.
By Sunday afternoon, all ports on the lower peninsula were closed after boats were tied down or sent out to sea.
The hurricane’s centre remained over the gulf on Sunday afternoon, as Ignacio drifted north along the eastern edge of the Baja California peninsula at 5 miles (8 kilometres) per hour.
Hurricane winds extended out up to 25 miles (40 kilometres) from the centre, and tropical-storm force winds extended out 85 miles (136 kilometres), buffeting the peninsula with wind and rain.
The Centre said that the hurricane reached category 2 in the Saffir-Simpson scale.
