How is everyone in Zihua this morning?

Well, from what little information I have been able to read it seems Zihua has dodged the worst of Otis. Any "on the ground" reports? Sure hope all are safe there.

We are scheduled to fly in on Tuesday, staying at the KauKan Condos on Madera. Trying to decide if we should cancel or not. Unfortunately, we would lose over 3K in the condo rental alone--but that's unimportant compared to being in a hurricane, or the aftermath if there is widespread damage or flooding.

I did read about another tropical storm forming in the Pacific region, and will keep an eye on that.

Hoping to hear from some Zihua folks about conditions there......

Rained through the night and early this morning.
Clear/ing now.
Good choice on KauKan Condos.
I'm an owner.
It's spectacular!

Thanks Mosesk--glad to hear you are safe, although maybe a bit wet?

So no wind damage or flooding at this point? I know there is more rain in the forecast for next week, but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy the lovely pool and patio!

Yes-the KauKan is wonderful--we stayed there last year the first week in December. I could easily live there!

I’m here, in La Ropa. I have talked to friends and neighbors and many don’t have data service and none of us have internet.
All is well - it’s actually a beautiful calm sunny -albeit muggy - day.
We dodged a very scary storm for sure. No flooding or wind damage issues.

Thank you warrior girl! That is definitely good news, and at this point we are still planning to fly next Tuesday. Although we will keep an eye on the other tropical storm that is forming in the same area.

I’m in Troncones. I didn’t get any wind or rain last night. I was up at 5:30 a.m. for a run and the road was dry.

Winds have been picking up over the past 2 hours and the rain just started coming down pretty good.

Thanks for the updates, much appreciated!

This is frustrating, and I do realize losing my vacation is definitely a 1st world problem and I shouldn't whine!!

We'll make our decision by Monday morning, keeping our fingers crossed!

Between Punta Troncones and Punta La Mahajua we’ve had a little rain and it’s been a bit breezy over the past couple of hours, but really, nothing out of the ordinary.

We are on la ropa, woke up Wednesday morning to no wind, a little sprinkle. Total in the end was .04 inches of rain over Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.

We had no cell service or internet from when we got up Wednesday morning until we got up this morning. Now all is fine.

We decided to brave the sprinkles (they ended by 7:30am) and exercise the dogs, paddle and ocean swim.

Horrible about Acapulco, but there was no sign of anything here.

I have been watching and yes the news coverage here in Canada is just starting to get a grasp on the immensity of the storm. We have been coming to Zihuantanejo since 2008 and we have seen some of the damage done, especially Barra de Potosi. Gracias a Dios you guys are alright, I have donated to Cruz Roja and I hope all Canadians do as well. I cant wait to be back in January to swim with the Paddle Boards.

Looking forward to seeing you two and hoping that you can stay your whole time this winter.

We got a bit of rain Tuesday night but that's not unusual for Zihua in October. It's quiet and lovely here now. I see no reason to cancel.
