Pacific Hurricane Baja California FYI

[halo16]

MIAMI - Hurricane Norbert strengthened into a Category 2 hurricane over the Pacific Ocean late Tuesday, and forecasters said it could hit the southern Baja California Peninsula by the weekend before bringing rain to the northern Mexican mainland.

Forecasters said the storm is moving west-northwest at 10 mph and is expected to continue on that path through Wednesday and then turn toward Baja California on Thursday

...it appears to be pointed in our direction and then is supposed to veer off and head across Baja and then the Mexico mainland. I would think, since its pointed at us, we'll get some large waves in the next week from it. Also, they've now upped it to category 3.
