Hurricane Bonnie steams westward off Mexico’s Pacific coast

MEXICO CITY (AP) — A strengthened Hurricane Bonnie is moving in the Pacific roughly parallel to Mexico’s southern coast, after crossing over Central America from the Caribbean, dropping heavy rain and contributing to two deaths. Forecasters say they expect the hurricane to pose no threat to land as it moves generally westward farther out into the Pacific. The U.S. National Hurricane Center says Bonnie had maximum sustained winds of 105 mph late Monday. It was centered 220 miles south of the Mexican resort town of Zihuatanejo and moving west-northwest at 16 mph.
