Authorities did not immediately report any damage, but along the coast they suspended classes, closed seaports and set up shelters.

In Sinaloa, where Mazatlan is located, some emergency shelters were opened.

Orlene could bring flood-inducing rainfall of up to 10 inches in some places, as well as coastal flooding and dangerous surf. The ports of Manzanillo and Puerto Vallarta were closed to ships and Mexico's navy announced that ports including Mazatlan, San Blas and Nuevo Vallarta were closed to small craft.

Mexico's National Water Commission said Orlene could cause “mudslides, rising river and stream levels, and flooding in low-lying areas.” The hurricane center said hurricane-force winds extended out about 15 miles from the center and tropical storm-force winds out to 70 miles .Copyright AP - Associated Press
