Ráfagas de viento tiran faro de Troncones

As expected but not to be taken lightly, the sustained winds have been picking up these past few hours. Good idea to make sure you don’t have possible flying objects in your immediate outdoor area. If you’re on the open coast, you should be paying particularly close attention for at least the next few hours. Be safe everyone.

The worst seems to have passed, but for a while there even in the bay anyone on the beach was getting sandblasted. I felt bad for all the folks at the Cancha trying to watch basketball or have fun with their children. The wind turned the streets into dustbowls and the beachfront into a dangerous area. I didn’t see any trees down in my part of town, but doubtless there was damage somewhere in the immediate region.

Yes, and it looks like you got something big moving up the coast over the next couple days. Hopefully it will track more westerly and only give you some rain.

Yes, that was the original purpose of this post several days ago to call attention to the storm system that at the time was forming in the Bahía de Tehuantepec. When tropical disturbances form up there they tend to come straight for us.

All the forecast models I have show this going up and out from the area.

It's the winds and the surf on the backside we need to watch out for.

Be very thankful we aren't in a large plains area but instead at the foothills of the Sierra Madre del Sur, and with Cerro del Huamilule jutting out there blocking easterly winds for us. The mountains block most of the winds and break up the storms, but every now and then we get a Paulina or even a rare double-whammy like Ingrid-Manuel. Never take these storms lightly on the coast.
