Hurricane Roslyn slammed into west-central Mexico on Sunday 
morning, “bringing damaging winds, a life-threatening storm 
surge and flooding rains,” forecasters said.

Roslyn made landfall around 7:20 a.m. ET near Santa Cruz in 
northern Nayarit state.

The major hurricane whipped maximum sustained winds of 120 mph, 
the Miami-based National Hurricane Center said. A “major 
hurricane” is one that has maximum sustained winds of at least 
111 mph.

As of 8 a.m. ET Sunday, Roslyn was about 90 kilometers (55 
miles) northwest of Tepic, Mexico. It was moving north-northeast 
at 26 kph (16 mph).

“Roslyn is expected to produce a life-threatening storm surge 
with significant coastal flooding in areas of onshore winds 
through today,” the hurricane center said Sunday.

“Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and 
destructive waves,” forecasters said. And swells are likely to 
cause “life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.”

But there’s a bit of good news for residents who live inland. 
“Now that Roslyn has made landfall, rapid weakening is expected 
as the hurricane moves farther inland,” the hurricane center 
said.

Roslyn formed off the western coast of Mexico and its sustained 
wind speed increased by 60 mph in a 24-hour period from Friday 
to Saturday morning – a rapid intensification.

The hurricane has been tracking similarly to Hurricane Orlene, 
which made landfall October 3 just north of the Nayarit-Sinaloa 
border.
