Mexican hurricane history?

#1 Postby cancunkid » Sun Jul 17, 2005 10:37 am

Does anyone know of a site where I could read about past hurricanes that might have hit the Mexican states of Quintana Roo, Yucatan and Campeche? I was wondering about the Mayan ruins in the area. They are about a thousand years old but a lot of them are in very good shape so I wondered if this is an area that is often hit by major hurricanes. I especially wonder about Tulum since it is by far the most beautiful of the ruins and it sits right on the ocean it seems like it would be so vulnerable. :cry:

Okay I did a lot of looking around and unfortunately I don't read Spanish so I finally found some info on http://www.hurricanecity.com on how likely it is that a city is going to be hit by a hurricane. Since 1871 Merida, Mexico ranks 9th and Cozumel, Mexico ranks 30th so my guess is Tulum looked fine after Gilbert it will look fine after just about anything.
