Have limited cell phone contact with someone north of Maya Beach...here is what I can pass along:
The north end of the peninsula was not heavily damaged overall, although certain localities received serious to moderate damage. Maya Playa was named as the most severe, it seems it is totally destroyed. Green Parrot moderate damage, Maya Beach Hotel, one smaller building heavily damaged. Mangoe's roof blew off and they are in the process of replacing it and cleaning up inside the bar today. A lot of trees down and smaller features gone, like fences. Probably some others have lost roofs and personal belongings, but not the devestation a few miles further south. Don't know when we will have regular contact with them again, but am confident everyone is okay and working hard on the cleanup. Those of us in Maya Beach were spared because our friends 10 miles south took the direct hit....our hearts and prayers are with them. If I wasn't in Colorado, that is where I would be helping.
