Hurricane Orlene hits Mazatlan, then weakens as it moves into Mexico
Hurricane Orlene made landfall on Mexico’s Pacific coast near the tourist town of Mazatlan on Monday before quickly weakening over land into a tropical depression.
Orlene lost some strength after roaring over the Islas Maria, a former prison colony being developed as a tourist draw. The main island is sparsely populated, mainly by government employees, and most buildings there are made of brick or concrete. The government of Jalisco state, where Puerto Vallarta is located, suspended classes Monday in towns and cities along the coast.Orlene could bring flood-inducing rainfall of up to 25 centimetres in some places, as well as coastal flooding and dangerous surf.
