#Latest news with #HurricaneErickWashington Post10 hours agoClimateWashington PostErick set to strike Mexico as a hurricane this weekTropical Storm Erick is on a path to strike Mexico as a powerful and intensifying hurricane on Thursday. It's the fifth named storm of the season in the eastern Pacific Ocean. The storm is forecast to come ashore southeast of Acapulco. The anticipated sustained wind of 110 mph would make it a high-end Category 2 at landfall, but given the likelihood of conditions that would fuel strengthening, a major hurricane of Category 3 intensity is also a risk.
