Hurricane Lidia took aim at Mexico’s Pacific coast resort of Puerto Vallarta on Tuesday, with forecasters warning it could have winds up to 115 mph when it hits land.

The hurricane is expected to sweep over a spit of land before hitting the bay where Puerto Vallarta is located, which could cushion the blow somewhat.
