Hurricane Dean

[Bill Rotella]

I sure hope that are friends in Cozumel and Akumal (Villa DeRosa) and others will be O.K.

They will be in our prayers

[jeandiver]

Amen.
It's now a Cat 5 this evening too... (gads)
But the track looks south enough to be OK.

I just heard that it downgraded to a category 2 by the time it hit the mainland. Chetumal and Belize took the worst hit with flooding, but not too bad!

Dean was heading directly for Puerto Aventuras - Playa del carmen - Cozumel, then , after hitting Jamaica, moved south and hit Chetumal and Belize with awesome force (winds of uo to 150 knots!).
Luckily for us, Tulum and points north emerged relatively unscathed and cave diving is up and running like most other days down here.
The worst damage was caused by ocean surge, so check out any ocean-front property you may be going to first.
