Tropical depression 23-E looks poised to come close to or even hit Zihuatanejo, according to the early models. Folks need to take precautions and keep an eye on it.

Ha! It started raining here about an hour ago, pretty steady, at varying levels of intensity. Some big thunder rolled past about 10 minutes ago. They had a terrible landslide from the rains in Oaxaca yesterday morning. Rains have been intense there and parts of Guerrero. Hopefully we won't have to watch on TV the collapse of the bridge over the Río Suchiate in Chiapas while thousands of refugees are still on it.
Now it's a named Tropical Storm, but is forecast to stay at that level. As of right now on Playa la Ropa, we are at .5 inches of rain.
We are hoping to avoid any serious storms during our first summer here!
OMG, that bridge in Chiapas.....

The warmest water along the entire Pacific Coast is right in front of us. While I share your sentiments, I've learned not to count on riding the wish horse. That warm ocean is a-hankering for a big storm. A grand finale to a lackluster rainy season.

We DO need the rain and we are as ready as we can get for a big storm.
It's pouring here right now, it's 7:30 and we are up to 1.01 inches and it's not over!
We only have an outdoor kitchen for now but we always have a rain plan. We think its in place tonight. The rain is WONDERFUL!!!

Love the rain, but you don’t even want to know what was seen washing into the bay from the canal just a short while ago. Un-friggin-believable!
It is so nice and cool right now, I might have to sleep with a sheet over me tonight! I am loving it.

Sitting at Casa Arcadia during the rain. a large part of the bay turned brown with lots of white Styrofoam floating around. And stinky! The worst I've ever smelled.

I have never seen the brown fill the bay so fast! I wouldn't put my big toe in the water for a long time!

We were out in la lancha at the mouth of the bay when the rain hit. (Great fishing, by the way!) On our way back through the bay to the lagoon, we passed the line from regular water to brown water that was coming out of the lagoon. And yes, the smell was horrible. Good thing we're not swimming anytime soon!

The only thing biting in the pouring rain - Barrilete! We caught six big ones - enough fish for us for the week, scraps for the cat and extras for my suegra! Right between the mouth of the bay and piedra solitaria. Then we beat feet (or hit the gas) for home.
