The storm had strengthened into a major Category 3 hurricane before weakening, with maximum sustained winds of 80 mph as of the latest update. Trudy was located about 130 miles west-southwest of Cabo Corrientes, Mexico, and moving northwest at 7 mph.
The National Hurricane Center had urged people in coastal regions to prepare for potentially life-threatening flooding and mudslides. The Mexican Navy also warned mariners and coastal residents to exercise extreme caution due to high waves and heavy rain.
