SAN JOSE DEL CABO, Mexico (AP) — Hurricane Odile grew into a major storm Sunday and took aim at the resort area of Los Cabos, prompting Mexican authorities to evacuate vulnerable coastal areas and prepare shelters for up to 30,000 people.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said Odile's core was on a track to pass close to or directly over the southern end of the Baja California Peninsula late Sunday and into Monday.
"All preparedness actions to protect life and property should be rushed to completion," the center said in a bulletin.
Odile's maximum sustained winds were 125 (205 kph) Sunday afternoon, down a bit from earlier in the day. Its center was about 140 miles (225 kilometers) south-southeast of the southern tip of Baja California and was moving to the northwest at 15 mph (24 kph).
