HURRICANE Celia has grown into a power Category 5 storm, but it's swirling far out over the Pacific Ocean and doesn't immediately threaten land.

The US Hurricane Center in Miami says Celia was packing winds at 160 mph (260 kph) as it churned up seas yesterday night about 785 miles (1,260 km) off the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California peninsula. Celia was moving farther out to sea to the west at about 13 mph (20 kph).

Meanwhile, Hurricane Darby was still swirling off Mexico's coast and also didn't immediately threaten land. The Category 1 storm was packing winds of about 90 mph (150 kph). It was moving to the west-northwest at about 8 mph (13 kph).
