This is not good. Please keep us posted! We are very concerned about Costa Maya and the surrounding areas.

Hopefully they are all evacuating and heading inland. Those of use that have been there know how flat the terrain is, there are no real hills to stand atop that I recall..... Our prayers are with all that are in the path of Dean.

Sher, you are right, that area really is flat. If you see anything that looks like a hill, it is a Mayan ruin that is overgrown and that hasn't been excavated yet.
I really like this part of Mexico, and I wish I could move Dean somewhere else.

Cruise Pier damaged
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.
