We had showers on and off this morning. Woke up to BIG boomers about 5:30 this morning.

The concrete cruise dock is pretty much gone.... I can’t believe she stayed with a 7 month old!!!! First Hand Account Here:
``It wasn’t minutes of terror. It was hours,’’ said Catharine Morales, 30, a native of Montreal, Canada, who has lived in Majahual for a year. ``The walls felt like they were going to explode.’’
One of a handful people to ignore military orders to evacuate, she weathered the storm in her new brick-walled house with her husband and 7-month-old baby. Winds of 165 mph - with gusts of 200 mph, faster than the takeoff speed of many passenger jets - blew out windows and pulled pieces from their roof.
Hundreds of homes were collapsed in Majahual when Dean’s eye passed almost directly overhead, crumpling steel girders, splintering wooden structures and washing away about half of the immense concrete dock that transformed the sleepy fishing village into Mexico’s second-busiest cruise ship destination. The storm surge covered almost the entire town in waist-deep sea water.

Just damn.
I don't even want to imagine that crashing into a densely-populated area.

Beginning with this morning's forecast for the Palm Springs area (!!), the local weather people are giving us a 60% shot at T-Storms over the weekend from the humidity that will circulate around from the remnants.
What a hoot...residual effect from something that started off the west coast of Africa.

Thanks for the link.
While the center appears to be just west of the Yucatan Pen. it looks like a rain band is wrapping all the way up to the Texas coast.
Any of you Coastal Texas FReepers getting some rain from this?

Prayers for the health and wellbeing of this baby especially in view of its foolish parents.

I think all the staging that took place in Brownsville was for helping Mexico.

May very well be. Wonder if the Guard is crossing the river?
To: SouthTexas
Not the trucks it’s the planes that I saw sitting on the tarmac loaded with relief goods.
