Hurricane Jova!!! Welcome To The Coast of Mexico!

We'll fill in what has been happening the last 10 days or so soon but right now all the attention is being paid to the hurricane, yes hurricane, just off the coast south of Puerto Vallarta. Hurricane Jova is it's name. Lots of folks, including myself, have been keeping an eye on this thing for a few days now. For a while we thought we'd be hit straight on but the storm has redirected south and the "eye" will be ashore south of Puerto Vallarta. I'm guessing the eye will be 40-60 kilometers south of us. Thankfully. Not only am I thankful for us and our new home but a direct hit would do some serious damage to our little village that has just really recovered from some damage from Mother Nature. Last year some serious rains caused really bad flooding and knocked out bridges here in town and a main transportation route from Vallarta. Many homes were flooded as well. We may still see the bad rain but at least if we get hit it will be a glancing blow and not FULL on. For now we sit and look out our window and wait. We have supplies, including beer and wine, so we might as well have Happy Hour until Jova comes a knockin'. Pacifico anyone?
