That's really good news! San Pedro has seen so much worse, even with Mitch. At that time, the water was so high that our bodega was completely destroyed. Sounds like the water isn't high. Does anyone know how high the surge was at the height of the storm?

Thanks Marty Arianna is in Ft MacMurray, Tazmara is in Seattle bundeling up supplies to head back on the first plane and Connor is heading for Calgary with Grandma until we know its safe for him to head back. School start up next week may be tight.

Dean is so large -- about the size of Texas -- that its tropical winds and waves were expected to affect the entire Yucatan and neighboring Belize to the south.

Jeff Spiegel, owner of the Azul Resort in Amerbergris Caye, Belize, said it was "incredibly windy" and the ocean surge was "very, very high." Most of the docks and piers have been washed away on the western side of his narrow island, he said

If anyone hears any info on the San Mateo neighborhood and Holy Cross School, please pass it along.Hoping the school (and all of the schools) didn't suffer too much damage.

Miller: Did you reach Carlos on his cell? Did he report any damage to homes up that way? We're just a few houses north of you and can't get thru to our caretaker.
Marty: Any reports of injuries? Praying not.
