Next to the U.S., Mexico has the largest coastline prone to hurricanes.

Great info, buy also for Keith, 2000, remember how badly devastated was the Yucatan Peninsula even that the cyclone made landfall in Belize. Mexico is the only country in the Americas that can be affected by severe tropical cyclones. I think is very rare, in case it existed, to have a severe hurricane affecting another American country by the Pacific side.
