Hurricane Willa
Looks to be a very bad Hurricane about to hit the west coast of Mexico. Zihuatanejo seems to be on the lower edge. Any word in town if you expect heavy rains? We’re arriving Tuesday for our first visit in 10 years. Hoping to miss the hurricane experience!
Forget Willa! Watch out for Vicente!

Willa is history for us. Vicente is the storm arriving to our coast that is likely to cause torrential rains and associated damages.

Saw that one too. Really big rain, hoping it doesn’t cause damage for you. After coming down for almost 15 years we haven’t visited for the last 10 due to changes at my work. We’re finally coming back to beautiful Zihuatanejo this Tuesday, bringing my 77 year old mother who has never been to Mexico. Looking forward to our visit but following the weather.

Wow! She is going to be so surprised and have the time of her life! Good on you for bringing your mom!! The rains will leave everything verdant, blooming and beautiful.
Welcome back! ¡Bienvenidos! de regreso

Don't mean to belittle Willa, I certainly feel bad for the folks experiencing a Cat 4 hurricane along the coast of Colima, Jalisco and Nayarit.

Me too! Looks horrible. Could be catastrophic for the people of that huge swatch of Mexico. Just saw it upgraded to a Cat 5.

This is definitely NOT normal to have two such phenomena on our Pacific Coast at the exact same time. But we can't call it human-induced global warming because too many folks think they know more than the scientists and they get all bent out of shape if we do. It's a crazy world!
Ain't that the truth.
Silver lining?

Well at least it is not May. These two storms should cool-off the ocean. That and the actual calendar date says this should be the last hurrah for hurricanes this year.
