Carlos regains hurricane strength in open Pacific
Miami (AFP) July 11, 2009 Tropical Storm Carlos has regained hurricane status as it churns further out into the open Pacific far off the coast of Mexico, the Miami-based National Hurricane Center said early Tuesday. Hurricane Center forecasters said that satellite images showed the storm's winds had increased to about 75 miles (120 kilometers) per hour with higher gusts. "Some additional strengthening is possible during the next 24 hours," it added. At 6:00 am (1000 GMT), Carlos was centered some 1,465 miles (2,355 kilometers) southwest of the southern tip of Baja California. The storm, the Hurricane Center said, was moving toward the west at nine miles (15 kilometers) per hour, a general motion that was expected to continue for the next couple of days. Carlos was named a hurricane on Saturday but was later downgraded to a tropical storm. The last powerful storm to strike Mexico's Pacific coast was Hurricane Andres, which tore past the coastline in June, drowning a fisherman and flooding the resort city of Acapulco.
