Hurricane Grace hits Mexico near Tulum

Al Jazeera  

Hurricane Grace has struck Mexico’s Caribbean coast just south of the ancient Mayan temples of Tulum, pushing a dangerous storm surge. Grace’s centre struck just south of Tulum at 4:45am on Thursday with maximum sustained winds of 130kmph, according to the US National Hurricane Center. Quintana Roo Governor Carlos Joaquin said the storm had knocked out power to some 84,000 customers in Cancun and 65,000 in Playa del Carmen, Cozumel, Puerto Aventura and Tulum. Grace missed the popular cruise ship destination Cozumel and came ashore south of Playa del Carmen, where the downtown, usually thumping with music and clubgoers, was eerily desolate on Wednesday night.
