Historical perspective : Hurricane Rick

According to everyone I ask, nobody ever recalls a hurricane this close to Ixtapa Zihuatanejo.

I asked people who are life long residents. I tried to Google if a hurricane ever hit even close, and found nothing .

Sooooo, what’s the answer please??

My wife has been here through several hurricanes including a much stronger one when her family lived on the beach where Daniel's Restaurant is. She's been through this several times. I've only seen hurricanes brush our coast or peter out over the past 32 years, though the damage has still been severe and widespread on numerous occasions. Huracán Manuel also took out a lot of our most beautiful trees and left the same amount of trash on the beach as Rick, and it was joined by a hurricane from the Gulf of México named Ingrid and rained torrentially for days, cutting off access to many towns and villages as well as washing out bridges between here and Acapulco. Paulina, Odile, Kenna, Hillary, and Beatriz are a few that have brushed our coast and left considerable damage. Paulina hurt Acapulco badly.
