MEXICO CITY (AP) — Former Hurricane Roslyn slammed into a sparsely populated stretch of Mexico’s Pacific coast between the resorts of Puerto Vallarta and Mazatlan. Roslyn then declined to tropical storm force and quickly moved inland. By Sunday morning, Roslyn had winds of 70 mph, down from its peak of 130 mph. The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Roslyn was about 55 miles (90 kms) south-southeast of the northern city of Durango. The hurricane is expected to lose force as it moves further inland. While it missed a direct hit, Roslyn brought heavy rain and high waves to Puerto Vallarta. In Tepic, the Nayarit state capital, Roslyn blew down trees and flooded some streets.
