Hi: it is now 5 pm on saturday. the wind has subsided quite a bit, though we did have some 45 to 60 mile per hour gusts over the nighttime. wilma is now a category 2 hurricane, winds just over 100 mph. the direction is now to the north at 2 mph, so we have had the worst. for us it is now effectively over, the rest of today and tomorrow will be bands of storm crossing over, and by tomorrow nght it should be over for us completely.
we have had no problems, the building is fine, no floods, even the electricity stayed on the whole time. we havebeen lucky, thanks be to all the candles lit for us.
progreso is having a fun holiday. the malecon is lined with families and tourists from merida playing on the edge of the water and just watching the waves. most of the businesses and offices are closed, it is a great holiday!!
the coast of quintana roo is devastated, even if it is hard to get information about anything outside of cozumel and cancun. we are now looking to see what, if anything, we can do to help the ordinary people of the area. they will be a long time recovering from this, and the damage from emily has not even been finished repairing.
please keep those people in your prayers, they will need it!!
thanks
david, ivonne and abigail
