Hurricane Jova is about to make Landfall

Hurricane Jova has built to a category 3 hurricane as it swirls off the Pacific Coast of Mexico on Monday. Already with 125 mph winds Jova seems to be growing as it heads towards Barra de Navidad. It is expected to make landfall on Tuesday at the same time it's expected to reach a category 4 storm. To prepare for the hit local hotels and buisness owners are boarding up windows, and cleaning water channels to prepare for the onslaught of water. It's good that they can brace for a storm like this although the nearby hills help protect the port in town. It's about 50/50 as far as locals say. Some are stocking up with supplies while others watch the beast with a beer in hand. The tourists think differently however, and most have checked out of their hotels. The local government has already established areas for citizens to go if they choose. Ballrooms, basements, and schools are all set for shelters in case the storm gets ugly.
