My telemetry was right even though I mixed up the anode and the cathode

Flew in yesterday around 3.30, expected a rough landing but very smooth, just a lot of rain. Staying at the Kau Kan Condos, as soon as we checked in the property manager told us to get to the grocery store as soon as we could. Very sound advice! Spent a lovely evening on our balcony listening to the rain and surf and went to bed exhausted. Woken up at 2.30, just as the power went out, by load banging on our door and were hustled into an interior room to be safer. Went back to our room around 8 to watch the waves washing all the way up on La Madera. Power came back on around 2.30 this afternoon. Great news that it looks like everyone is safe but I hear there's a lot of damage in Ixtapa

Your concerned Oaxacaño neighbors are eager to know the current extent of Rick's impact in Z area. One would imagine that with the cited wind speeds that many palapas got a bit "ruffled"!!! Plus, CONAGUA had earlier reported that once Rick neared or came ashore, that At Minimum, 148 liters of water per square meter per 24 hour period would be 'dumped' = THAT is some major combined rainfall if Rick 'slows' and hangs around for a few days. Along with Windy.com, this gif website tends to be our Oaxaca coast BIBLE!!! = https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/sat/satlooper.php?region=epac&product=ir Again, Benditos y Los Abrazos Fuertes... en La Sombra de El Señor...

It's crazy to see the tinaco sitting on the walkway at paseo del pescador in the webcam.

It was bouncing around down in the bocana of the canal when I was there this morning.

So far I havent heard of anything horrible in Troncones. Some downed trees and lots of debris. I havent heard of any structures damaged…or anyone hurt. Cell service seems to be working. Not sure if power is on yet. If anyone else has any other info…please update. Thanks ….

We're healthy, dry, have our roof, and our boat (which was pulled out of the water) didn't sink. But, it's a mess out there! Electricity came back on about 20 minutes ago. Hope everyone else is O.K. with minimal damage/cleanup.

We're good. Spent much of the night holding the shutters closed on our bedroom window because the wind was so fierce it wanted to blow them off their hinges. Early morning walk on the beach and saw hundreds of turtle eggs, a gazillion plastic bottles and tons of debris and flotsam on the beach. The Ficus tree in front of Valeria's II blew down. Waves are washing entirely over the new sidewalk. A few lookey-loos out rubberneckin. But the lights came on early and coffee was hot before 8. Even had a cup of chocolate caliente with mi desayuno. Paradise!

Awesome to hear. I woke at 4 am this morning in the States to see how things were going. All webcams were down at that point and airport was reporting 60mph sustained with gusts to 85. Hope everyone made it through safe and sound and all of your lives get back to normal sooner than later.
