Can't believe it, I am able to post!!!!, lost power around 5:12 and 22 seconds, or some where around there.
realized we still had phone (DSL) , hooked up the generator, and I'M BACK
We are all ok, the winds are incredible, and she is still 40 miles away, our condo is pure concrete, all boarded up, with the generator out side the front door, the noise is incredible, and I really think the house is shaking!!!
our neibhors house is beginning to blow thru (they are on the north side of us, and bearing the brunt (protecting us)
they lost windows in the bathroom, (closed it off), now their front patioo doors are going, they are in process of moving here, between gust.
only good thing is this storm is here in the daytime

Wind driven rain about 3" in the house since my last post. Rain coming into our house from the upstairs units!
Neighbors whose house is blowing through can't get back over here because in the last 10 minutes the wind has doubled!
Post again if i can. We are ok. Mike

Kevin (CancunKev) from Cancun:
I have been opening my hurricane shutters hour by hour to check and see the storms progression here in the heart of the hotel zone in Cancun. We started to receive Hurricane force winds early this morning around 2 AM, and at this point Kukuklcan Blvd is under anywhere from 1 to 3 feet of water, at least from were we are in Maralago, about 2 blocks from Coco Bongo, The CITY, The Forum Shopping Mall, etc.
On the ocean side the waves look to be around 10 feet at this point with about 5 feet of surge. There is NO beach left as far as I can see, and the destruction is only going to continue.
I have attached a few photos, and will continue hour by hour until the power goes out. We do have generators in the building but I am not sure if they will be used as if the garage floods, the generators may cause for harm then good.
"See" you in about an hour....

Wow!
Since the last report the storm surge here I estimate to be about 10 feet! Cars are floating by!
Our downstairs toilets are "bubbling" which means the water level has reached the pipes! We may have to escape to the upstairs, but we are all ok!
Still no sign of our neighbors I mentioned!
Hopefully more later!
Mike
