Hurricane Emily swirled across the Gulf of Mexico Tuesday and took aim once again at the Mexican coastline, forcing thousands in the northeast and in southern Texas to seek higher ground.
The storm was gathering strength as it barreled toward the coast, a day after ripping roofs off resort hotels and stranding thousands of tourists along the Mayan Riviera, which includes the resort of Cancun.
Winds and rains were expected to begin lashing land again later Tuesday, and the eye of the storm was likely to come ashore near the fishing village of La Pesca, popular with Mexican and U.S. tourists.
