Emily is a dangerous category three hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale with maximum sustained winds near 125 mph (205 km/hr). Emily's center was expected to hit land some 150 miles south of the Mexico border, near low-lying fishing communities. Heavy rain was seen likely in mountainous regions further inland and forecasters warned of life-threatening flash floods and mudslides. Emily killed five people in Jamaica in its swing through the Caribbean as a Category 4 hurricane, and several people died in Mexico in incidents indirectly caused by the storm. The storm was set for its second landing on Mexico, after dropping into the Caribbean coast on Monday, sending tourists and locals to shelters in beach resorts in and around Cancun. Mexican oil exports were suspended and not set to restart until Wednesday after oil operations in the southern Gulf of Mexico were halted due to the hurricane. Gulf of Mexico oil and natural gas producers expected little to no damage. Navy photo (RELEASED) US Navy 050720-N-0000W-001 Graphic depicting the expected track of Hurricane Emily
