A lot of desperate people in Acapulco, Bajíos del Ejido, Coyuca de Benítez and the general region are totally dependent on outside help at the moment, and slowly but surely it's arriving. It's slow going still, but so many wonderful people are working as hard as possible to get food, medicine, water and services to all the people awaiting help. There have been constant trips by locals carrying what they can, though it's still a drop in the bucket compared to what's needed. But the growing movement of so many organizations and individuals together with the military is making a huge difference. It's truly inspiring. I continue recommending the Cruz Roja Mexicana Delegación Zihuatanejo. They and their national counterpart have been working tirelessly these past few days getting help to people in the region and taking people needing special care to hospitals and clinics in other communities including here in Zihuatanejo for treatment.

Unfortunately as help arrives and the cleanup continues, more and more mortal victims of the monster hurricane keep being found. I also understand that most of the tourists who'd been stranded have now been able to leave by bus and by plane. Lots of people continue seeking to contact friends and relatives. As power and services slowly get restored, folks are getting back in contact with their missing friends and loved ones. There's still a long row to hoe, but Mexicans are resilient, though Acapulco is likely to never quite be the same.

Weather forecasts have another hurricane forming up, almost hitting El Salvador, then heading again out to sea, so there's something that has everyone's attention here. Never a dull moment in paradise!

Don't miss the Formula 1 race in Mexico City this Sunday at 2 p.m. local time!

Many friends have organized informal collections to send to ACA.

Everything helps. Tourists can help by purchasing "any" item and donating.

They need power for refrigeration and clean water. The government needs to flood the area.

Does anyone other than me see the irony of Acapulco struggling out of climate-change destruction while we glorify the GHG-emitting internal combustion engines of Formula 1 racing?

You do know they use hybrid engines and biofuel, right? Basically it's a high-octane unleaded fuel with currently 10% sustainable ethanol.

Lots of people contributing lots to global warming are using unleaded gas with 10% ethanol.

Now, watching the January 13, 2024 FIA Formula E 2024 Mexico City E-Prix is something I might enjoy.
