Hurricane Alex has made landfall at Mexico Coast now with speed of 105 mph. Brownville experienced the strong winds of 60mph. More people are being taken to safe shelters to keep them out of path of hurricane. The latest data shows that Hurricane Alex has covered Brownsville, Corpus Christi, Galveston and Monterrey town of Mexico. The work in oil leak affected areas has been affected. Companies and workers are being asked to evacuate the areas which would fall in its path. Its direction for now is west and average speed is 10mph. Be safer and find the place where you can ensure that you are not affected. Our Prayers are with you.

Expected to make contact with landfall north of La Pesca, Mexico tonight. Its path is not defined for now. The irregular path will depend upon the low pressure area it gets. Right now, it has movement of 12 miles per hour. Already, there are reports from Texas that there were rains of 5 inches or so. I am looking for flat images of satellite to make more sense of it. I will update this page as I read through the satellite maps.
