The current conditions in Cancun
are Clouds, dark clouds at that, not raining although we have had some Light showers
during the day. As someone else mentioned over the last couple of days we
had more rain leading up to IDA passing off the coast of Quintana Roo but seems
that Cancun, Cozumel and the Riviera Maya
escaped the worst of IDA but Quintana Roo has raised the alert to RED and has
implemented Civil Defense measures.
There is still some isolated flooding in Cancun and Highway Flooding in Playa Del Carmen as a result
of all of the rain over the last several days.
Some of the most affected areas in the hotel zone of
Cancun is the Beach area of Plaza Forum north toward the center of Cancun, typically the rocky area of the beach behind
plaza forum comes right to the back of the mall.
Police and Civil Defense personnel are supervising
activity at the Playa Delfines area also known as El Mirador which is in the
south of Cancun’s Hotel Zone right next
to the Hilton Hotel and Golf Resort where the waves and undertow are the most
notorious during bad weather. Hotels all along the hotel zone have
deployed their anticyclone curtains facing the ocean and ASUR is reporting that
there were only minor airport delays and that only 2 flights from a small
charter group were cancelled today by the carrier.
Isla Mujeres has cancelled school classes for Monday
in anticipation of cleanup that may be needed after the storm passes.
Punta Allen is being reported as the most affected in
Quintana Roo at this time (thanks Julio Leal)
Ferry Crossings which were suspended yesterday at 4PM
between Playa Del
Carmen and Cozumel will begin at 3PM today although
the Captain of the Port opened the crossing at 1PM Ultramar is reporting that
they will begin at 3PM.
Holbox Island evacuated 1600 people to
the mainland and Chiquila some 16 people.
Not much more to say at this time, we will see what
the back end of IDA has now as she is a Cat. 2 hurricane.
