MIAMI (AP) – Simon has strengthened into a powerful Category 4 hurricane as it barrels toward Mexico’s coast.

The National Hurricane Centre (NHC) in Miami said early Saturday that Simon’s maximum sustained winds had increased to 150 miles per hour.

A storm of that strength or greater is considered a major hurricane.
