Hurricane Lidia barrels inland after slamming Mexico coast; one dead

Hurricane Lidia slammed into Mexico's Pacific coast late on Tuesday as an "extremely dangerous storm", bringing powerful wind and lashing rain and killing at least one person, though it weakened to a Category 2 storm as it barreled inland. In Puerto Vallarta, residents boarded up windows and dragged sacks of sand from the beach to reinforce flood barriers on their storefronts, and the airport said it would shut down until 8 a.m. (1400 GMT) on Wednesday.<br/>
