Storm damage assessments have yet to occur. While landfall was in a sparsely populated area, Mayans live throughout the area, many in wooden shacks.

I received a preliminary report from a friend in Guatemala-- there is extensive damage to the central Yucatan.

I’ve spent A LOT of time in that area, and it is dotted with palapa huts.......stick walls, grass (palapa) roofs. I just pray that most of the people moved inland before it struck.
