Tropical Storm Karl Hits Yucatan, Some Evacuations Ordered

Tropical Storm Karl hit Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula Wednesday and was expected to head into the Gulf of Mexico, threatening Mexican oil installations and possibly gaining hurricane strength. Mexico's state-run oil giant Pemex has not yet curtailed any operations but said it would continue to monitor Karl's progress as it approached its vast oil production operations in the Bay of Campeche, in the southern Gulf of Mexico.
