Hurricane Trudy strengthened to a Category 2 storm as it moved toward Mexico’s Pacific coast, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center. The center has issued a hurricane warning from Manzanillo in Colima state to Cabo Corrientes in Jalisco and warned of potentially life-threatening flooding and mudslides. Its latest data gave the storm maximum sustained winds of 105 mph (165 kph). Heavy rain and strong winds reached parts of the coast on Sunday.
