After battering the coastal area of Chiapas, killing seven people, tropical storm Henriette hammered Guerrero and the tourist town, Acapulco. It is now tracking some 150 miles southeast of the southern tip of Baja California and has been designated as a Category 1 hurricane, packing winds in the 80 mph range and gaining strength. It is expected to hit land later today or tonight. For more information and a history of Baja storms try this site: http://cabobob.baja.org/pages/050hur.html
