Hurricane Emily’s winds start battering Mexico

Hurricane Emily's winds start battering Mexico Hurricane Emily started lashing the beaches of Mexico's Yucatan peninsula late Sunday. The Category 4 storm blew down signs and trees, leaving Isla Mujeres and parts of the island of Cozumel and Cancun without electricity. Emily's eye would pass over Cozumel early Monday, authorities predicted. The hurricane did slightly weaken as it approached Mexico, with speeds dropping from 235 kilometres per hour to 220 km/h. Earlier Sunday, chaos ruled at Cancun, Mexico's airport as tourists waited for flights to escape hurricane Emily. At Toronto's Pearson Airport, Dave Job arrived on one flight -- but without his son. While concerned, "I'm a

Fog closes Mexico City airport, disrupting 71 flights A blanket of fog closed Mexico City's airport for several hours early Monday, disrupting 71 international and domestic flights during the travel industry's busiest season, the airport spokesman said. Authorities shut down the airport from 5:10 a.m. until 8:32 a.m., said Jose Luis Uribe, airport spokesman.

Locust plague encircles Mexicos Cancun resort

Locust plague encircles Mexicos Cancun resort Clouds of locusts have descended around the Mexican beach resort of Cancun, destroying corn crops and worrying officials in a region still recovering from the devastating fury of last years Hurricane Wilma. Traveling in dark fogs, locusts are grasshoppers that have entered a swarming phase, capable of covering large distances and rapidly stripping fields of vegetation.

Cancun: Quintana Roo

Cancun The ever-expanding resort of Cancun (pop 100, 000) is built on Quintana Roo's northeast coast overlooking the blue waters of the Caribbean. Size and glitz are the operating principles here, and the resort is beginning to have crowding problems that resemble Fort Lauderdale at the height of Spring Break. There is nothing older than 1970 in Cancun, except for some tiny vestiges of Mayan temples; for antiquity or colonial sights, you have to head west to Yucatan or south to Tulum and Coba. Cancun is divided into downtown and the hotel zone. The latter is a 33-kilometer (21-mile)-long sandbar (hat
