LOS CABOS, Mexico (AP) — Extremely dangerous Hurricane Jimena roared toward Mexico’s resort-studded Baja California Peninsula on Monday, prompting emergency workers to set up makeshift shelters and chasing away an international finance conference. Jimena is just short of Category 5 status and could rake the harsh desert region fringed with picturesque beaches and fishing villages as a major storm by Tuesday evening, forecasters said. – – – – Contact The Daily Reveille’s news staff at [email protected]
