While in the Atlantic, Hurricane Tammy was very near Antigua and threatened to batter the islands of the Lesser Antilles.
National Hurricane Center said hurricane conditions were already occurring over southern parts of the peninsula.Hotels in Los Cabos, which are largely frequented by foreign tourists, remained about three-quarters full and visitors made no major moves to leave en masse, Baja California Sur state tourism secretary Maribel Collins said.There was no way out anyway: Airports were closed Saturday, according to the local civil defense office.
