By Miguel Angel HernandezVeracruz - Tropical Storm Lorenzo formed just off Mexico's Gulf Coast on Thursday after the area was put under a storm warning.A hurricane hunter aircraft found that a previously formed tropical depression strengthened and had top sustained winds of 96km/h shortly before 2pm, the National Hurricane Centre said. A tropical storm becomes a hurricane once its sustained winds reach 119km/h.Lorenzo's centre was just off Mexico's Gulf Coast on Thursday, and was projected to hit land Friday morning near the small port of Tuxpan.Officials cancelled classes and set up shelters Thursday as steady rains drenched Veracruz state's coastline. No evacuations were immediately planned, however.
