A new hurricane emerged Saturday in the eastern Pacific Ocean, prompting the National Hurricane Center to urge those along Mexico's southwestern coast to track its progress as it crept toward shore.
Hurricane Jova had maximum sustained winds of 75 mph as of 2 p.m. PDT (5 p.m. EDT) Saturday, with the Miami-based center predicting it would get even stronger over the next 48 hours.
The storm's eye was located south of Mexico's Baja California and 440 miles (710 kilometers) west-southwest of Manzanillo. It was heading slowly, at 3 mph, to the east-northeast.
Tropical-storm-force winds - measured at 39 mph or stronger - were recorded 90 miles out, the center reported.
No coastal warnings or watches are currently in effect due to the system, though the hurricane center is advising people in the general area to monitor its movement.

this would be a good time to smuggle some stuff in... hide in the hurrican3e
*Sigh*
I2nd that sigh
I 2nd that *sigh*!
Tropical storms can do as much damage as hurricanes! Flood a city & see what he!l is unleashed! I lived through TS Alison '01 & it was really bad! PS. sorry 'bout the duplicate! 1 was not ready for public consumption! Accidental enter!
Fernace or any friends there
Yeah fernace I remember TS Alison too. Not a whole lot of power, but endless water. We've had our share of that too, over here in MS/AL. They don't have to be strong to be destructive.
Wait, I'm confused. Shouldn't this be a typhoon since it came out of the pacific?
Typhoons are what they are called in the western pacific. I guess it must switch at the international date line. But that's just a guess.
Well ,hurricane, typhoon, or cyclone it's all the same! Lots of wind ,water & destruction! We'll see what happens!!
Actually, cyclone is another name they use for tornados.
Although it has been used in the term of tropical cyclone.
Now, see, that's what I thought too!
