US-WEATHER-HURRICANE EMILY
This NASA handout image received 19 July 2005, shows Hurricane Emily over the Gulf of Mexico. Southern Texas and northeastern Mexico 19 July braced for the fury of Hurricane Emily, which killed 10 people as it thundered over the Caribbean and the Yucatan Peninsula.The threatened areas are sparsely populated, but forecasts indicated the storm-s inland track could take it dangerously close to Monterrey, Mexico-s third largest city, with a population of more than three million. Forecasters said Emily would slam ashore in Mexico, some 160 kilometers (100 miles) south of the US border at about 1:00 am (0500 GMT) 20 July. Parts of southern Texas, close to the border, were also under a hurricane warning.The deadly hurricane looked set to regain steam after weakening as it crossed Mexico-s Yucatan peninsula, and the Miami-based National Hurricane Center (NHC) warned that "preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion." In northeastern Mexico-s Tamaulipas state, more than 4,000 people were evacuated, out of a total of 80,000 living in high-risk areas on the Gulf of Mexico coast, according officials.
