Zihua dodged a large hurricane and had a fairly substantial earthquake today along with near total disruption of internet and cellular service and it seems like no one cares?
Maybe i travel in the wrong circles but people from outside the country right now know more about what is happening in Guerrero than I do.
No news?
We noticed an increase activity of mosquitos Tuesday evening, increased winds then heavy rain kicked in. Woke up Wednesday to light rain and no internet. A friend from the States called early morning which I found odd which quickly had me ask myself if he was ok. I could not finish saying hello when he asked if we were fine as he just saw that Otis slammed ACA with 160 mph winds. I was shocked to hear that given the sun was coming out and there was light rain. I shared we are fine but no internet and needed to scramble as I had virtual work meetings scheduled throughout the day.
Tried to reconnect my internet service with no luck but was able to receive calls through my US carrier. Fortunately a friend hooked me up with temporary satellite service to allow me to connect with work. Still couldn’t see any online news and figured to wait.
We then noticed our dog was anxious, pacing and barking. I was on a conference call and luckily on mute when a strong loud rumble hit and I yelled out to my sweetie, shit, that was a strong earthquake.
It was hit and miss to see videos out of ACA to begin to understand the impact of Otis and he realization that communications were completely out.
Thankfully it appears no physical impact to Zihuatanejo but can only imagine many people with no communication with family in the ACA area and no travel to the area.

Most people here have telcel or use telmex's internet service here. Comes out of Acapulco, which got slammed. They haven't had electricity since it hit. Which means very little is getting posted on-line. Acapulco is bad - photos that have come out of there show that it looks like it was hit with a bomb. I heard boats and marineros are gone/missing. It's going to be ugly for a while. Very sad.

Can you please get all of this stuff straightened out before my arrival on Nov. 7th....

As far as the "near total disruption of internet & celular service", that was pretty much the case.
BUT, for 300 monthly, I have unrestricted "datos" for Internet with baIT, and was able to connect to the Internet.
My phone converts to be the Modem, and I connect the laptop to it.
Worked fine when most others had the disruption.

Megacable internet did not go down during the devastation.
I think I heard they are out of Guadalajara

Great for linking the comments in the thread up to that Led Zep track,
which is one of my favorites from their early days.
I should of had already thought of and associated the song myself.
Didn't pick up on it until you shared it, thank You.

Bait - eSIM available?
Hello Jaui
Do you know if you can use eSim with Bait or only physical Sim?
I can’t find the information on their web site
According to this recent post it’s only physical Sim…
