La Paz:
Simon grew into a powerful category four hurricane on Saturday as it swirled off Mexico's Pacific coast, threatening resorts barely recovering from a recent storm.
Just before 8:00 pm (0300 GMT Sunday), the storm was blasting top winds of 215 kilometres (134 miles) per hour but was located far from land, 640 kilometres west-northwest of the southern tip of Baja California, the US-based National Hurricane Center said. It was just one rung below the strongest storms on the five-point Saffir-Simpson scale.
