Hurricane Henriette weakened slightly Tuesday after it made landfall on the southern tip of Baja, a resort area popular with Hollywood stars and sports fishing enthusiasts.
Few tourists or residents had expected much trouble, but they woke to dangerous winds, closed airports and forecasts of a direct hit. "I've been hearing it from the wife, coming to Cabo during the hurricane season," said Derek Dunlap, a 45-year-old engineer from San Francisco.
