Hurricane Simon nears Mexico
Hurricane Simon is heading from the Pacific Ocean towards Mexico, and it is expected to make landfall as a Category 4 or 5 storm, the highest levels on the Saffir-Simpson scale, raising concerns of significant damage. The hurricane’s speed of 7 kilometers per hour increases the risk, especially given its slow movement, which amplifies the potential for widespread destruction. Authorities in Puerto Vallarta are preparing by issuing evacuation and shelter orders for residents, as Simon is anticipated to approach the area during Saturday night and Sunday morning. Preparations include filling sandbags and reinforcing homes. Scientists link the increasing intensity of current hurricanes to the climate phenomenon "El Niño," which leads to higher ocean water temperatures in the Pacific, thereby increasing the likelihood of more severe hurricanes during the season.
