Mexico and Belize Brace for Hurricane Ernesto

Southern Mexico and Belize are bracing for the arrival of Hurricane Ernesto.

With sustained winds over eighty miles per hour the storm could be quite destructive.

It is centered on the Mexican state of Quintana Roo, and resorts along the coast are moving people if necessary.

Some of the resorts are rated with high enough building quality to serve as shelters themselves, guests there are being allowed to stay.

Ernesto entered the Caribbean on Saturday, and caused minimal damage as it moved along the coast of Honduras.

Once it makes landfall, it is expected to take less than twenty-four hours for Enresto to cross into the Gulf of Mexico.

Flood warnings have joined the already issued hurricane warnings, as rains begin to swell waterways.
