Tuesday Morning Dean Update

Hurricane Dean has made landfall on the South Eastern coast of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula.

Hurricane specialist Daniel Brown, of the US National Hurricane Centre, said the eye of the storm reached the coast and officials were working to pinpoint the exact location near Chetumal.

Dean had sustained winds of 160 mph as it closed on the Yucatan Peninsula just north of the Mexico-Belize border.

The hurricane has killed at least 12 people across the Caribbean, picked up strength after brushing Jamaica and the Cayman Islands and became a monstrous Category 5 hurricane.

The storm was expected to slash across the Yucatan Peninsula and emerge in the Gulf of Campeche, where Petroleos Mexicanos decided to shut down production on the offshore rigs that extract most of the nation’s oil – resulting in a production loss of 2.7 million barrels of oil and 2.6 billion cubic feet of natural gas a day.

Central Mexico was next on the storm’s path, though the outer bands were likely to bring rain, flooding and gusty winds to southern Texas.
