Amanda, a primeira tempestade nomeada no Pacífico formada no sábado, rapidamente chegou à categoria quatro de força durante a noite e estava próxima da categoria cinco na manhã deste domingo.
Ela está localizada a cerca de 1.240 quilômetros ao sul da parte sulista da península Baja, no México, com ventos de 250 quilômetros por hora, segundo o Centro Nacional de Furacões dos Estados Unidos.
O centro sediado em Miami disse que Amanda foi o furacão mais forte de maio registrado por satélites ao leste do Pacífico. A tempestade deve ficar mais fraca na noite de domingo, quando se dirige ao norte e mais para dentro do mar.

Hurricane Amanda May's most potent

- May 26, 2014
HURRICANE Amanda is rapidly gaining force far off of Mexico's
Pacific coast, growing into the strongest May hurricane on modern record
for the Eastern Pacific, with sustained winds of up to 250 km/h.
The US National Hurricane Center in Miami said on Sunday the main
body of the category-4 hurricane poses little threat to land, however.It was centred about 1240 kilometres south of the southern tip of Baja California and forecasters said it was likely to start weakening while staying well out to sea, at least through to Friday.
Even so, Mexico's National Meteorological Service said rains associated with Amanda were likely to drench much of western and central Mexico.
The previous May record for the region was held by Hurricane Adolph in 2001, which had sustained winds of up to 230 km/h. Earlier storms may have been stronger but reliable records became possible with the start of the use of satellites in the mid-1960s.
The Eastern Pacific hurricane season officially starts on May 15. The Atlantic season starts on June 1.
