Post Hurricane Willa Update

Well, we missed another one.  Hurricane Willa went well north of us and we are thankful.  It rained for the better part of two days and Tropical Storm Vicente stayed to the south and we never saw the rain it may have brought.  The surf was big and waves ran up to the beach and to the beachfront walls of homes and businesses.  The north end beach did get reshaped quite a bit especially from about where Las Sirenas Beach Club is(was) towards the river mouth.  Las Sirenas Beach Club was a casualty of the the storm but I am sure our friend, Meg, will rebuild and be back in business just like always.

Communities in northern Nayarit were not so lucky.  It is very hard still to get information about the extent of the devastation that has occurred.  Reports are that over 100,000 people were effected just up the coast a few hours.  Transportation routes have been destroyed, houses are filled with flood debris or just gone.  People lost everything and very quickly from what I am understanding.  Very sad to see and hear about our neighbors to the north since it could have very easily been us.  Relief efforts have been organized all week here in town bringing truck loads of clothes and food to those in need in that area.
