Hurricane Rick roars across eastern North Pacific

Post by Swerdloc » 10-18-2009 10:31 AM

(CNN) -- Hurricane Rick became the second strongest hurricane in the eastern North Pacific Ocean in more than 10 years early Sunday, whipping up winds of 180 miles per hour.

The storm center of the Category 5 hurricane was 295 miles (475 kilometers) south-southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico.

Forecasters expect Rick to lose some of its punch, as it recurves toward southern Baja, California, and then toward mainland Mexico later in the week, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.

The strongest hurricane in the eastern North Pacific was Hurricane Linda, which reached winds of 185 miles per hour in 1997.
