MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Tropical Storm John is rapidly growing and is set to become a hurricane by Monday afternoon as it barrels toward Mexico's Pacific coast, according to the U.S.-based National Hurricane Center (NHC).
John is set to speed up even more before it makes landfall on Tuesday near resort destination Puerto Escondido, the NHC forecast showed, bringing with it strong winds, a dangerous storm surge and life-threatening flash flooding.
