Don't worry, all is well here. We got some rain but nothing serious. Tonight we are getting more than with Lorena.

Pleas watch our personal weather station by Los Delfines on Playa la Ropa. Go to Weatherlink.com. Log in. Find Casa 4 Vientos. That is us, you can monitor most of our lives here.

We'd LOVE to hear what you think!

We maintain the weather station so we can watch the weather.

I have been searching trying to find out how hard Lorena hit. You are right, no news on it up here. Sending prayers for those that were affected and thankful you are all ok.

Thanks for the report on Lorena, it was mentioned in passing on one NOB web site but no detail. Glad Zihua got some much needed moderate rain.

Things are so slow in Zihuatanejo that we lose all sense of time during this part of the year. Days drift by but everything seems the same except for the folks who have no income, then the days seem interminable waiting for the season to start up again in late November. It's the same each year but because there are more of us each year it hits some folks harder than ever. Maybe one of these days society will have that long overdue conversation about controlling human overpopulation.

Still nothing to report or show regarding pier construction. Not one piling has actually been set yet. It looked like they were going to then... nada.

Hurricane Lorena did severe damage up the coast where it hit near the border between Colima and Jalisco before reforming and heading towards the Baja peninsula. Wiped out a lot of banana plantations and left a lot of people cut off from the outside world. The military is doing its best to rescue stranded people and to help their communities. No deaths reported yet, but a lot of wind damage and flooding. Makes us thankful we only got some moderate rain. I haven't seen a word mentioned in the U.S. press about the damage so I'm guessing most of you are unaware.

I thought you all might enjoy these scenes from this morning. Our first sunny day in a while.
