Two hurricanes threaten to collide off the Baja coast

PUERTO VALLARTA, Mexico (AP) - Hurricane Nora and Hurricane Olaf churned Monday toward the tip of the Baja California peninsula, a region still recovering from two hurricanes that hit in recent weeks.

The two, powerful storms were expected to collide by midweek, and would likely affect the other's path. Hurricane Nora was expected to hit the upscale Cabo San Lucas resort late Wednesday, while forecasters predicted Hurricane Olaf would move north up the Pacific coast, sideswiping Cabo San Lucas and turning inland near Culiacan, 640 miles northwest of Mexico City.

However, forecasters at the National Hurricane Center in Miami warned that the path of the two storms could change as they interacted south of Cabo San Lucas.

Resort cities up and down Mexico's popular Pacific coast braced for high winds and rain.

Hurricane Olaf's outer bands were expected to lash Puerto Vallarta on Monday as the storm moved north up the coast. Officials canceled classes and turned schools into makeshift shelters, urging residents to leave low-lying homes.

Hurricane Olaf churned Sunday 110 miles southwest of Manzanillo and had slowed to 7 mph. It packed winds of 75 mph.

Hurricane Nora was far off the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula, but forecasters expected the storm to head east toward Cabo San Lucas, a resort known for its golf courses and deep-sea fishing.
