Tourists try to protect themselves after a strong wave hit the resort city of Acapulco, Mexico, Monday, April 9, 2007. The unusual waves could be the result of swells just reaching some Pacific coasts from a powerful storm that occurred last week off the western coast of South America, thousands of miles to the south, according to the U.S. National Weather Service. Scientists have warned that rising global temperatures may produce stronger and more frequent storms that will affect coastal cities in Latin America and could change the face of tourism.(AP Photo)AP - Unusually high Pacific waves battered beaches from El Salvador to Mexico and carried people out to sea, prompting authorities in some places to order swimmers out of the water Tuesday. At least two people were killed.
