Zih Passing Storms

As you can see on all the live local webcams, today is a picture postcard perfect day in Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa. Clear cerulean skies and bright sunshine and perfect temps. Simply amazing. We are extremely fortunate that Willa missed us and that Vicente just gave us a good soaking. Folks inland and along other parts of the coast weren't so fortunate, and the rains have caused major flooding from Sonora to Veracruz as rivers overflow and streets themselves become raging rivers. Aquí no pasa nada. Esquivamos una bala.

This is from last Friday when Willa was a tropical storm letting loose its first rain on us. You can see the canal just beginning to turn loose its contents into the bay. Not a pretty sight. Not seen are a couch and a stove we watched wash out of the canal.

And this is from a day later, Saturday, as Willa was forming into a hurricane right off our coast but heading past us. The contrast from the day before is astounding.
