BREAKING: Hurricane Grace makes landfall near Mexico's Tulum temples, U.S. National Hurricane Center says, pushing a dangerous storm surge.
TULUM, Mexico — Hurricane Grace struck Mexico’s Caribbean coast just south of the ancient Mayan temples of Tulum early Thursday, pushing a dangerous storm surge. Heavy rain and strong winds threatened to destroy flimsier homes and keep tourists off white sand beaches until it crosses the Yucatan Peninsula.
One exception was Axel Felix, a 37-year-old pizza deliveryman making his last drop-off of the night in a rain slicker. “Now I’m going home and I’m not going out until tomorrow,” Felix said. “You’ve got to be careful and stay at home.” Quintana Roo Gov. Carlos Joaquin said authorities had evacuated hotels that were not made to withstand hurricanes and he called a halt to alcohol sales in the region at 5 p.m. Some airlines cancelled flights to the peninsula.
Meanwhile, some tourists fretted over a lost day at the beach while others prepared for their first hurricane experience. Leaving a store with some supplies, 25-year-old California law student Sarah Lynch said she wasn’t too worried.
