Oh Boy, here we go. First reports from Cancun via Gonzalez (what else would he be called in Mexico) from his friends short wave. Gonzalez is in Merida.

Major hotels, blown out windows.
Glass is everywhere on the streets and it floats.

Some kind of blow frong is pissed and spitting at everyone. (I had no clue about this).

It seems as if there are no fatalities in Cancun as most people went high and mid in the hotels.

Hotels in downtown Cancun let the poorer people stay with them to get above ground water.

Ground water in downtown Cancun was only a foot.

The biggest danger was the wind and the signs flying around.

The marina at Tortugas is gone and so is Fat Tuesdays Restaurant.

There is no observation yet of the hotels at the south end of the island. Will advise when I hear something.

Between the town of Cancun and Kuklakan Shoppin Center is a mess. Kuklakan Mall had to be evacuated and people scramed to higher ground.

Funny ending from his call. Father Alverez said, No Church Tomorrow.
