Ernesto is now a tropical storm with winds around 70 mph as it moves across Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. Additional weakening is expected today. Ernesto struck as a hurricane around midnight Winds were 85 mph when it swept over the town of Mahuahal, and then moved into a thinly populated coastal region.
