With 180 mph winds Rick becomes the second strongest eastern North Pacific hurricane on record after Linda of 1997.
Interests in southern Baja California and the southwest coast of Mexico should monitor the progress of this severe hurricane. Some fluctuations in intensity are likely on Sunday. Hurricane force winds extend outward up to 45 miles/75 km from the center and tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 155 miles/250 km. Estimated minimum central pressure is 906 mb/26.75 inches. Large swells generated by Rick will affect portions of the southern coast of Mexico during the next couple of days causing potentially dangerous surf conditions. |
