Default Veracruz, Mexico getting a direct hit by 'Karl' right now...

As I'm writing this at 2.15 pm GMT.
Karl is a cat 2-3 hurricane, sustained winds upto 200 km/hour.

But are getting no attention in the news (except maybe in Mexico).
If it was just a liitle further north it would a completely different story.
Veracruz is a port in the bay of Campeche, Gulf of Mexico with
a population of about 350.000.
Should also mention it's going directly towards Mexico City (pop
20 million...) and dumping large amounts of rain in the prosess.
