Well Dean, it was nice knowing you. Even nicer seeing you leave.

Brent, I don't think Dean is just getting the :Door:

How about the :Can: should he manage to get retired?

Yes, I'm still holding on to the fact that maybe damage is less than feared due to hitting sparsely populated areas, but I still think he gets retired.

If Mexico doesn't request retirement, Jamaica will.

First retired name of the 2007 season, and hopefully also the last.

convection already firing up in the Pacific ahead of the blob. :eek: There seems to be still a broad area of circulation with remnants of Dean

Hey would it be possible for anyone to give me a forecast on how much rain we are going to get here in Puerto Vallarta?
It's been raining since 8:30PM and there's no signs of letting up, quite a few parts are starting to flood. Could I get an educated guess on rain totals here?
Thanks. :wink:

Heck I've got a 3 week break in Sept to watch hurricanes. I can stay up all night in watch and enjoy.

Hopefully dean redevelops once into the eastern Pacific.

It depends... given that the EPac is mostly free of land, it'd be fun to continue tracking Gil (its LLCC hasn't survived the trek over Mexico, so it'd be renamed)... but if it moves up the Golfo de California as the GFDL and a few other models were progging... Mexico would end up getting a third hit.

We can all dream about a cat 5 CPac fishie like Ioke I suppose...

One death reported in Mexico. A man was repairing his roof during the storm. A cable fell on the roof and he was electrocuted.

My gosh, the flooding is the real part of this hurricane, it's been constantly raining heavily all night and all I can say is I'm happy I live on a hill, we've had 12 hours of constant moderate to extremely heavy rain at times, and I can only sympathize for the people in the interior of Mexico and the Veracruz area...wow.

NetZeroZeus, how many inches of rain do you think you've had so far?

Dean is basically been thrown back to when he came off of Africa, he'll have to start all over again, can he do it before he hits cooler water?

If I had to guess..9 to 10 inches at least, in 12 hours. That may be conservative, since just regular afternoon storms last about 3 hours and the big ones drop around 4 to 5 inches. And there is a drainage canal 2 blocks from my house that runs parallel to a major road artery, apparently it broke it's banks at around 1 am last night, putting up to 6 inches of water on a major 6 lane road. It's gone down for now, since this canal is only 9 blocks from the ocean, so it drains fairly quickly after reaching it's maxima.
From looking at satellite the good news is that the convection that was headed our way is slowly falling apart, and I believe the worst of it is over, but I expect there to be major damage and flooding in the lowlying inland parts, which also happens to be where most poor people live. The mountains aren't really helping either, since they squeeze the moisture out of the clouds and you get more rain.
PVR's weather station doesn't even report precipitation, and amounts can wildly vary over a small distance here.

EDIT: First death reported here due to flooding.
