Hurricane Marty

Now it's Hurricane Marty and we're on its menu. Stay safe and watch out for your neighbor.

It's been raining steady since about noon. Starting to pick up just a bit. Hardly a soul on the street. So far no flooding in our part of town (keeping fingers and toes crossed). Brief little gusts of wind now and then, also starting to pick up. Seen this movie before and it usually has a messy ending. Where's a good cold front when you need one to blow out a hurricane? *sigh*

Hope you don't lose power! Be safe all!!

This is the sky that we woke up to this morning in Zihuatanejo.

The Cat. 1 hurricane is now a tropical storm again. It has veered to the east but is expected to come back our way in the coming hours. The high mountains of the sierra along our part of the coast continue to tear up the storm, and the bay continues protecting Zihuatanejo, but other areas have suffered the effects of the high waves, high winds and heavy rains. ¡Bendito puerto!

Well that ol' Marty just won't leave us be. After fraying nerves and cancelling classes for the past couple of days now it's coming back for round 3.

Here was the scene from Playa Principal this afternoon. The sun actually came out! But it was just a teaser.
