Rina Heads for Cancun


Cancun, a large tourist spot is setting up emergency shelters and evacuations in place because of Hurricane Rina. Currently it is a Category 2 storm and wind speeds are supposed to be around 105 mph. Near future reservations have been changed due to the storm. Even in the low season for tourism, there still will be around 22,000 tourist in Cancun!
Boats and jet skis have been moved to safer land and cruise ships have cancelled port in the area to stay away from the storm. Currently there are 1,100 shelters that could handle 200,000 people. If the storm hits Cancun damages could be in the millions.
