For those of you who were here during the Manuel-Ingrid storm that caused extensive flooding, landslides and damage throughout most of Guerrero, perhaps you recognize the scenario playing out with T.S. Earl on the weather maps. Dèjá vu. We have seen this before. It's damn similar to what Ingrid and Manuel looked like.
Stay alert! Be prepared for the worst, and keep an eye on the weather, please. 122 mm of rain are predicted for Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa tomorrow.

Well, that is not good news. I am supposed to arrive tomorrow afternoon via AA through PHX.
My question: How bad does it have to get before they divert flights or close the airport?

Torrential rains now. Local authorities have dropped the ball. Bars are open and drunk tourists are everywhere endangering themselves and others. But hey, anything to sell alcohol to folks and keep them spending. No public warnings at all issued locally or even statewide that I saw earlier today. Bummer.
But at least my family is safe and sound for the moment. We hope yours is, too.

Don't float away, and enjoy the storm together.
How has the rainfall been this season? More like normal? Here in So Cal, the weather is more like "normal" than it has been in the last 5 years. Hope yours is too.
Can't wait to get there. We think we probably should cross the border going south before election day in the US.

Probably a good idea. Check the last 3 paragraphs: http://bbc.com/news/election-us-2016-36960218

A large zone of unstable conditions centered around a low pressure system that is ripe for development into a tropical storm is currently in front of Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa and most of the coast of Guerrero, Michoacán and Colima. Torrential rains are expected. At the moment here in Zihuatanejo it is completely overcast and sprinkling off and on. It's been drizzling most of the morning after a brief spell of torrential rains around midnight last night.
Be sure you have candles, batteries, and basic necessities. Be prepared for power outages. Be sure your plants and home are prepared for strong gusts of wind. Check your roof and any other important pluvial drainage to be sure drainage is not blocked.
We should be fine, but I've learned to always prepare for the worst because situations can change quickly and drastically.
Good day for watching movies or sports, reading or just snoozing. Enjoy the relative coolness. Avoid driving if possible.

I wish you could share some of that rain with us here in Montana. A moron-caused fire last Sunday, about 3 miles down the road from our place, has grown to 8000 acres. Dry, hot and windy weather is making it hard to put out.
