Mexico tries to evacuate thousands ahead of Jimena

In Los Cabos, Mexico emergency workers were trying their best to get residents to evacuate the are, due to the incoming hurricane Jimena. Jimena was forecast ed to be a category five hurricane by the time it makes landfall late Tuesday night. Police, firefighters, and navy personnel are in the little towns trying to get residents who lived in little shacks to evacuate. But a lot of the people were scared there possessions would be stolen if they left, so most of them were skeptical. Even though the government warns who ever hadn't evacuated would be force to evacuate by the time the storm. Meetings have been moved, over 75 percent of the tourists have left, and the city's port has been shut, the remaining tourists are embracing the waves and such brought on by the hurricane. And just a little ways over in the pacific, Tropical storm Kevin is brewing.
