EDT, the National Hurricane Center in Miami said Brenda's center was about 25 miles north-northwest of Ciudad del Carmen, a small port on the southwestern flank of the Yucatan peninsula. The center said the storm was drifting erratically toward the south-southwest and was expected to cross the coast a short distance west of Carmen during the morning. But it added: "Since the motion of the hurricane has been slow and erratic, the possibility exists that the center may hesitate near the coast today rather than proceeding inland." The hurricane is the second of the season. In its progress through the Gulf of Campeche, Brenda generated gales for 150 miles to the north of the storm center and for 75 miles to the south. Heavy rams that could cause dangerous floods were predicted for the coastal areas ana northern slopes of the mountains behind the coast.
