Hurricane Emilia Could Be ‘Major’

Forecasters say the powerful Hurricane Emilia in the Pacific Ocean could “become a major hurricane” as its winds reached 110 miles per hour on Tuesday. As of 2 p.m. PST, the eye of the hurricane was located around 680 miles south of the tip of Baja California, and is progressing northwest at a speed of 15 miles per hour. Emilia isn’t alone in the Pacific: Hurricane Daniel, with winds of 75 miles per hour, has been churning, but it is even farther from California than Emilia and has already been losing strength over the past few days and is expected to continue to weaken.
