	Tropical Update 2012: Carlotta Now A Hurricane, Big Concern For NW Mexico

Posted by: hurricaneben, 3:04 PM GMT on June 15, 2012

Carlotta has now officially strengthened into a category one hurricane, with 80 MPH winds. It is moving NW at 12 MPH and should strengthen some more--likely into a category two hurricane before making landfall tomorrow morning and moving along the coastline. This is a rather dangerous situation for folks along the Pacific Coast of Mexico, you guys should have made your preparations already. Set aside the powerful winds and potentially dangerous storm surge, major rainfall amounts possibly topping one foot could also lead to deadly flash flooding and mudslides. Again...Carlotta is now a hurricane, and it is still expected to strengthen. Residents in NW Mexico should have already made their preparations and should heed any instructions given by local authorities.
