Hurricane Beryl roared ashore on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula near the resort town of Tulum as a Category 2 storm early Friday.
Hurricane Beryl strengthened back into a Category 3 storm and headed for what could be a direct hit on Mexico's Caribbean coast resort of Tulum early Friday, where authorities urged tourists to leave white sand beaches. Beryl was the earliest Category 5 hurricane in the Atlantic before weakening to a Category 2 storm. But it regained strength late Thursday with windspeeds of 115 mph as it neared landfall on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center.
'It is recommendable that people get to higher ground, shelters or the homes of friends or family elsewhere,' López Obrador wrote. 'Don't hesitate, material possessions can be replaced.' Once a sleepy, laid-back village, in recent years Tulum has boomed with unrestrained development and now has about 50,000 permanent inhabitants and at least as many tourists on an average day.
