No contact from Merida for awhile. power out no doubt. the eye slid straight south from the waters edge to the east about 10-15 miles. still moving pretty much south.

here's my working links page when this stuff is going on.

lots good links. the cancun radar link is the freshest today.



NO effect on AC. few higher clouds, just enuf to cool things off a bit, lil rain a day or so ago, not much.

The power keeps blinking and coming and going.
We are on the Yucatan power grid.
Quite a lighting show also-in every direction

Am I misinterpreting the data or is that 35 inches of rain in 6 hours accurate?

The Merida airport rain record looks screwed up because it says they got 70 inches in the preceding 24 hours.

Something is wrong there...

how is everyone fairing down there. hope to hear from you. . . .
jim?
anyone?
marty - do you have a report?

We're OK here. Still gusty winds from southwest... no rain... overcast. Izzy is still headed south but losing strength... fortunately! Seems to want to visit Belize but too much land to cross. He'll dissipate while trying.

Needless to say, if he had done that southward turn by Cancun he would have been trouble...

CaptJesse,
As a former resident of S.P. I have seen a few storms. How has thie one affected S.P. ? Looks like a lot of rain on the weather channel. Can you give me a close up ? Thanks in advance !

If you want to get an impression of Izzy's potential look at this link. It shows his energy pool to be of vast proportion stretching 2000 miles into the Pacific and entraining the Inter-tropical monsoon trough into his pull:

no radical weather in SPR at this time.

fairly gusty... 20-25 kts. gusting to 30. Very little rain, but overcast and a lil threatening. Coolish.

but its backing into the corozal area..
----------------
From Corozal, 1:45pm

Gusts of at least 60 mph -- coming from the South/west - Pouring rain -- cold -- huge waves -- heavy winds --
- three boats in Corozal got battered and sank!! We had to sail (motor with the 8 HP Honda four stroke) straight into the teeth -- and there were times we were being pushed backwards!!

Both boats got swamped by huge waves getting up the New River.

I was not properly dressed -- it was chill factor hell!! No food -- no
water -- was out there for hours to make a crossing that normally takes 45
minutes tops!!

It is hard from the US tv to determine if Isisore is backing into Belize with weather keep us informed. coming back at 12/31.kbg
