Huracán Paul

Huracán Paul

This NOAA satellite image taken Monday, Oct. 23, 2006 at 8:30 PM EDT shows Hurricane Paul. Paul weakened Tuesday, but emergency workers remained on standby to evacuate thousands of residents from this popular resort. About 2,000 to 3,000 families could be evacuated from flood-risk areas to 49 shelters, mostly schools, ahead of Paul, the third hurricane this season to threaten the area, said Francisco Cota, civil defense director for the two resort cities of San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas.
