What BBN said about it

  1. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorTrudy has dropped to a Category 1 hurricane, and the hurricane center's latest update on Sunday night has its winds at eighty miles per hour.

  2. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIt peaked as a Category 3 late last week, Chip, and it is now moving northwest at seven miles per hour, about one hundred thirty miles from Cabo Corrientes.

  3. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAnd the Associated Press says authorities have lifted all warnings for Mexico's coast, which is a real bright spot for travelers.

  4. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMichoacán, Colima and Jalisco were expecting four to eight inches of rain, with isolated totals near twelve inches.

  5. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorTwelve inches! That's a lot of rain for one place.

  6. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIt is the same region Hurricane Simon hit the week before. Colima authorities say the risks remain low, but the ground is already saturated.

  7. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSo the storm showed up second, and it still got the best seat in the house.

  8. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorTrudy arrived to find a table already set. Authorities have lifted every warning, and the ground, I'm told, has not.

  9. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorRex, I hear you've got a scoreboard that still has its warnings up.
