From Times Wire Reports

Tropical Storm Julio moved over Baja California, prompting more than 2,500 families who live along riverbeds to evacuate.

The center of the storm passed Cabo San Lucas, where many families had moved to shelters, and was hugging the Pacific coast.

Most vacationers rode out the bad weather inside their hotel rooms, but some ventured out on shopping trips and excursions.
