Norbert pounds Baja California
Hurricane Norbert stormed across Mexico's Baja Sur peninsula on Saturday, forcing hundreds of people to flee their homes.
"It hit land near Puerto Charley on Baja's southwest coast as a Category 2 hurricane, but weakened to Category 1 after emerging over the Gulf of California," according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami. Norbert was expected to reach mainland Mexico before dawn today.
