   Hurricane Trudy reaches Category 2 as it nears Mexico's Pacific coast

   Hurricane Trudy strengthened into a Category 2 storm on Saturday, moving toward the southwestern and west-central Pacific coast of Mexico. The U.S. National Hurricane Center issued a hurricane warning for the region from Manzanillo in Colima state to Cabo Corrientes in Jalisco. The storm produced maximum sustained winds of 100 mph and threatens western Mexico with heavy rain and coastal flooding. While some reports suggest the storm is losing organization, Puerto Vallarta remains the primary population center in the hurricane's path.
