August 20, 2007 - If You're in the Yucatan Right Now and Can Read This....

Get out now!!! Don't be brave and decide you can ride the hurricane out in a bunker or the hotel lobby. Pack your bags and get your family to the bus station and buy a ticket to Veracruz. NOW! You're going to have to use a credit card for a hotel once you're there, but trust me--this is FAR better than what's coming to Cancun, Playa, or Tulum.

No, thank god. ...But people are so crazy thinking they can just ride it out in a gymnasium somewhere. They'll be trapped in miserable conditions for weeks if they stay.

arghhh! tks Ed! I escaped damage from Hurricane Stan in Veracruz by going to Cancun! when I came home to Veracruz from Tulum/Cancun, a bigger hurricane destroyed Cancun and Islas Mujeres 2 days later. People were stranded there for days!
It's quiet in Montreal...

In our news paper (on line) I read about these 2 norwegian girls stuck in their hotel in Cancun. They have been in contact with Norway ane all, but the harter operator says that they 'rely' on the local and after the hurricane 2 years ago "everyting will be fine there"..... ha ha ha
They have been told to put matresses and furnitures to their hotel room windos and that tehy might be taken to a shelter that the hotel have.... good luck to them. (not sarcastic!) I do hope they survive this experience and that the charter company ( a swedish owned one) don't have to give press interviews of why their customers got injured or worse died.

I think some people are dumb enough to think it's "cool" to sit a hurricane. And then they whine later about how bad conditions are. ...You even see footage of them out on beach watching the storm come in! I would be at the bus station in a heartbeat buying the first ticket ANYWHERE else.
