CANCUN, Mexico (AP) — A strong Tropical Storm Karl made landfall on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula on Wednesday, hitting a sparsely populated stretch of Caribbean coast, while two Category 4 hurricanes roared further out in the Atlantic.

Karl made landfall about 30 miles east-northeast of the Quitana Roo state capital of Chetumal, with winds of about 65 mph, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami.\

The storm hit far south of Tulum, a beach town of eco-resorts and cliffside Mayan ruins, but close to the smaller tourist and fishing town of Xcalak.

It was expected to quickly weaken into a tropical depression as it slogs across the flat peninsula before heading back out over the Gulf of Mexico, where it could turn into a hurricane by the end of the week and threaten the central Mexican coast.
