MANZANILLO, Mexico - Hurricane Jova slammed into Mexico's Pacific coast as a Category 2 hurricane early Wednesday, swamping beach towns and causing floods in the mountains above before dropping to tropical storm force as it swept past Puerto Vallarta.
The storm toppled trees, knocked out power and flooded streets along the coast, which is studded with beach towns and anchored by the major seaport of Manzanillo, but the full extent of damage was still unclear early Wednesday.
