After battering southeastern Mexico yesterday, Hurricane Dean regained strength and hit the Mexican coast again this afternoon. Despite being a weaker Category 2 hurricane with 100 mile per hour winds, Dean is expected to cut westward through mainland Mexico and may emerge past the Pacific coast as Typhoon Gil.The then-Category 5 hurricane walloped the Yucatan peninsula yesterday with winds nearing 170 miles per hour. Resort areas were mostly spared and there were no fatalities reported, though low-lying residential parts suffered notable damage (image) and heavy flooding.
As we mentioned on Monday, Hurricane Dean moved through the Caribbean over the weekend causing 13 deaths and major damage to Jamaica.
