Hurricane Ida has come and gone

The Yucatan Peninsula got very lucky yesterday as Hurricane Ida passed by changing from a category 1 hurricane to a category 2 hurricane. Winds were suppose to get up to 90 mph or higher accompanied by heavy rain. Fortunately we didn´t experience none of that what so ever. The truth is yesterday was probably one of the best days we had in a couple days. It was cloudy with scattered showers but barely any wind. Hurricane Ida passed us by gave us a quick but gentle hello and went on her way.

Looking out the window today you wouldn´t know that a category 2 hurricane passed yesterday. Skies are sunny today with a bit of clouds and great temperature to head to the beach.

We were lucky here but unfortunately she did hit harder in countries like El Salvador where the death total has reached 124. My deepest condolences go out to all the people of El Salvador especially the families who have lost someone.

Tropical Storm Ida picked it up a notch to a category 1 hurricane!

Late Saturday night Tropical Storm Ida re-strengthened herself into a category 1 hurricane moving at 12 mph. Heavy rain and winds of up to 90 mph are expected here in Cancun. A hurricane warning is in effect for the northeastern part of the Yucatan Peninsula from Playa del Carmen to Cabo Catoche. There is also a hurricane watch from Tulum to Playa del Carmen.

More information can be found at the following sites: National Hurricane Center, AccuWeather or any of your favorite weather websites and channels.

Hurricane Ida maybe a category 1 but we are all alerted to take precautions. If you maybe driving today please be cautious. Roads here in Cancun do get flooded and we are all aware of the many batches and holes that maybe hidden under all these flooded areas.

So far the weather here seems like a normally rainy and windy day here in Cancun but we must be prepared, we never know what can happen. Mother nature can be very unpredictable.

I have taken some pictures from my balcony to show what´s going on right now outside.

I´ll be writing any updates as they come along. Be safe out there!
