Esquivando ZIHclones

Communities are still cut off from the outside world along parts of the Costa Grande, especially around Técpan and also in the Sierra. Schools in the Sierra and the Costa Grande will remain closed this Wednesday. One death has been reported so far: a drowning from a vehicle that plunged into where the road had washed away. Thank goodness for the military who has been working hard to open the highways and roads back up, and especially for their help in caring for and feeding people who have had to seek shelter and who are trapped due to the road blockages. The road in Petatlán has been provisionally repaired so that people can travel, but I haven't heard about the repairs in Técpan to the road near the Cuajilote bridge yet.

Of course with the increase in size of Lidia to a Cat 4 hurricane, Max seemed to get absorbed and became part of Lidia's outer bands. It hasn't hardly stopped raining since 11:00 AM on Monday. The lights have gone off several times for long periods of time as well as a few short ones. No traffic. No tourists. No business. Many businesses remain closed as does the port of Zihuatanejo.

It's sad to see all the huge trees that fell and had to be cut up and removed from the roadways.

Amazingly, the Río Pantla is still just barely a river even after all this rain. Nowhere close to being the full river it should be at this time of year.

Is the waterfall flowing in Ixtapa?

Speaking of Ixtapa, there's a lovely low-key 2BR waterfront condo near the marina in Ixtapa at Ixtapa Iguana Condo 270. Overlooking the pool and El Palmar Beach in Ixtapa, available by week or month. Sleeps up to six and features a full kitchen, terrace with Jacuzzi, A/C, and TV.

Unos locales toman café de Guerrero debajo una palapa en Playa Principal durante la mañana mientras aún cae la lluvia de Tormenta Tropical Max. El sol nos engañó que iba a salir, pero siguió lloviendo.
