Nora approaching Mexico as a Category 2 Hurricane

Hurricane Nora was a Category 2 hurricane that impacted Mexico. It formed on October 1st, and dissipated on October 9, 2003. It was a minimal hurricane with no fatalities reported. It intensified to its peak strength of Category 2 with peak wind speeds of 105 mph (168.9km) on October 4, 2003. It originated from a tropical wave and quickly intensified first to Tropical Depression 14E, Tropical Storm Nora on October 2, then to Hurricane Nora on October 4, as a Category 2 hurricane.[1] The storm maintained this strength for two days and although the NHC predicted further intensification, the storm weakened due to a slow moving trough and wind shear from Tropical Storm Olaf on October 6th. It was downgraded to a Tropical Depression. The Cyclone made landfall on October 9 and quickly dissipated after. The remnants caused flooding in Mexico and Texas. [1]
