It looks like a regular shipping container, loaded aboard a cargo ship sailing up Mexico 's west coast from the Chinese-run mega-port at Manzanillo. But beneath the corrugated steel lurks a cruise missile launcher and a fleet of combat drones, ready to unleash hellfire in a surprise attack on US bases in California.

Hurricane Flossie strengthens further off Mexico's Pacific coast
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Hurricane Flossie has continued to strengthen off Mexico's southwestern Pacific coast with maximum sustained winds of 140 kph (85 mph), according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami. The hurricane center said Flossie became a Category 1 hurricane Monday night. The center said Flossie was about 260 kilometers (160 miles) south of Manzanillo and was moving west-northwest off the Mexican coast at 17 kph (10 mph). It was expected to skirt the coast for a few days while dropping rain on several Mexican states. Mexico's government earlier issued a tropical storm warning along the southwestern coast from Punta San Telmo to Playa Perula. A tropical storm watch remained in effect for other areas on the southwest coast from Zihuatanejo to Cabo Corrientes. A watch means tropical storm conditions are possible in the area within two days. While its center is forecast to remain offshore, rainfall up to 150 mm (6 inches) was likely for parts of the Mexican states of Guerrero, Michoacán, Colima, and Jalisco into Wednesday, with the possibility of life-threatening flooding and mudslides, especially in steep terrain. Flossie is forecast to strengthen over the next 36 hours before weakening over cooler waters.
