Lidia becomes Category 4 hurricane with 140 mph winds, takes aim at Mexico’s Puerto Vallarta resort

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Lidia has become an “extremely dangerous” Category 4 hurricane with winds of 140 mph as it takes aim at Mexico’s Pacific coast resort of Puerto Vallarta. The hurricane is expected to make landfall around Cabo Corrientes and then move inland, just to the south of Puerto Vallarta, which could cushion the blow on the resort. Local authorities canceled classes in communities around the coast. The expected impact comes one day after Tropical Storm Max hit the southern Pacific coast, hundred of miles away, and then dissipated.
