Fingers crossed that it goes straight through Mexico and takes out 100% of the trash on its way to invade my once great country. No fucks given for illegal migrants.

Another beautiful morning.

Tomorrow will not be as nice.
At least it seems to be staying to the south and is forecasted to be fairly weak. I’m anticipating wind  and rain.

I’m sure the wife will be a ball of nerves today.

We are 22 miles south of the Cancun airport. I'm hearing anywhere from 30 to 80 mph winds. Up to maybe 8 inches of rain here.  We are in the hurricane warning red zone which seems to be at odds with the winds forecast. Eye looks to be going to hit south of Tulum as a cat 1.

The resort has canceled the 4th of July event scheduled for 3pm. Closing everything else down at 5pm. Asking guests to stay in our rooms. Room service will keep going.  They mostly want us out of the way early while they prep the resort.  What we've heard is all the loungers and tables get tossed in the pools and the a/c units on the roofs get strapped down. Outside tables and chairs and any other stuff not fastened down gets moved inside the restaurants, bars, and other public spaces.

As of yesterday occupancy is down to around 60%. Usually this time of year it's 80+%.

Being on the north side of this there might be a few feet of storm surge and biggish waves.

All the utilities are underground and there is enough generator capacity to run the place as usual.

We've stocked up on bottled water and snacks to eat.  Towels and wash cloths. Other than the promised meals delivered we do not want to ask for anything.  Hopefully they will cut a lot of staff loose so they can be with their families.

We're really happy to be on the edge of this instead of the middle and that the storm is weakening.

Just the tip

The Texas State Operations Center (SOC) goes live tomorrow morning and will be running 24/7 until this storm passes.   Soooo I will soon be very busy making sure all of them have a network connection.

Where we are the NOAA wind forecast has gone up.  Now it is 60 to 90 mph. The 10 mph gradients on the chart for the north side near Cancun are fairly close together so hard to say.  We've been in since 6 and the resort expects to be back up and everything open by noon tomorrow.  The staff has been sent home in waves and only the essential staff remains. There are onsite quarters for staff.

Not sure what time it'll get here.  Just some breezy rain so far.

I may not survive the wife's TV choices.

Depends on the model, and what the big High pressure area over S. Georgia does.  The GFS was weird about it:  having it come onshore S. of Brownsville, going inland like 10 miles, and then pivoting straight north until Corpus.  

So far, the Euro looks like it's sending it straight at like Tampico like the last one, and making a mess in NE Mexico.  Guess we'll see.  I wouldn't be happy in Padre right now, especially if I thought I was flying back Sunday evening.

If you were talking about the Yucatan, yeah, a tad nasty, but nothing like a really big one, right?  Thank God, the Gulf is still mostly coolish, and not the 31+ it can be in September.

Its consistently outperformed all of the modeling and has hugged the right side of the forecast. It just got back to a Cat3 and is strengthening again vs the weakening they've called for. The gulf is in the mid 80s just like the water it just came through and wind shear is low (which hasn't seemed to matter anyway. The high pressure may be the only saving grace for further up the coast, but I'm expecting a hard north turn near or shortly after landfall

Hurricane Beryl Mexico Landfall Coverage, Texas Threat

Beryl came ashore just north of Tulum as a cat 2.  110 mph winds.  There were some evacuations down that way. Flights in and out of Cancun are canceled but I don't know for how long.  Open tomorrow.  Canc n and other places opened shelters.  


Don't know the state of the resort since we have a jungle view.  Trees are blowing around is all we can see.  Third (top) floor and the trees are taller than the building. We have been asked to stay in our rooms until we get an all clear. Something large and heavy was banging around on the building in the night. Power out for a few minutes presumably until the generators kicked in. No water for a short while probably due to the power outage. The resort has its own water treatment plant. The building walls are thick concrete and the sliding doors to both balconies are really thick and heavy. Occasional faint booming from the wind otherwise couldn't hear it.

Two fifths of JW Black Label (whiskey selection not great here) one fifth of Don Julio Reposada and one fifth of Grey Goose in our room. Dos XX and Coors Lite in the room fridge. Last bar open shut down at 6pm yesterday. They hoped to be back up by noon today. It's a terrible hardship to have to pour my own.

It feels off to be in a hurricane and not have it be any more noticeable than it was when I'm sure the locals had a bad night and bad days to come. A mini version of the slight inconvenience a nuclear holocaust would be for Bill Gates in his New Zealand doomsday bunker.  A fore taste of Elysium. We appreciate what the staff is doing but don't feel it is owed to us.  The event is a less than a one day wonder but we prepped to be able to go for at least 48 hours without asking for anything.

They already have to pools cleaned up and seats out. Pool bar is opening and breakfast was served without missing a beat.

I am highly impressed with the staff here, a lot of really fine people. Dreams riviera maya, has been a great time so far.

The wind is still blowing fairly strong but the water is a beautiful blue. Raining off and on, but vaca mode is fully engaged.

1 mai tai down and many more to come.
