Lidia has made landfall as an 'extremely dangerous' Category 4 hurricane with winds of 140 mph near the Mexican coastal resort of Puerto Vallarta.

Hurricane Lidia made landfall as an “extremely dangerous” Category 4 storm Tuesday evening with winds of 140 mph near the Mexican resort of Puerto Vallarta and then moved inland, still as a powerful hurricane. The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Lidia's eye appeared to have reached land near Las Penitas in the western state of Jalisco. The area is a sparsely populated peninsula.

Enrique Alfaro said on social media platform X an hour and a half after Lidia made landfall that the storm had generated “extraordinary rain and high surf” in various places but that so far there were no reports of injuries or deaths. The state had 23 shelters open, he said. The Puerto Vallarta city government said a few dozen people had gone to shelters there.
