Good morning!!

I've been in touch with Paul and Marisol (Fat Cat Catamaran) who live in Playacar phase 2 and they and the kids are fine. Paul says it looks like the place has been deforested. Minor house damage and the wind was so intense. Cars are fine but they can't drive them down the street.

He's going to make his way to the marina today in Puerto Aventuras to check on his boats so I'll let me know what he sees.

I also got through to Mike, Chrissy and the gang at our house which is right by the Reef Club in Phase 2 and they are fine too. Abby and Jules are with them as well as two Canadian timeshare sales guys (sorry don't know the names) They lost a few sheets of plywood and roof tiles, water in the house from leaking windows but nothing else. All the palapas have been stripped from the roof tops on the homes around.

They are heading out to have a look around and try to make it over to Las Brisas, which is basically 1st and 40-42 so he'll have some info later today too.

I'll post again when I have additional news. Most importantly, they are all safe, thank god!!!

That is truly great news. Even with storms like Cindy there were deaths in the US. Glad to hear that it wasn't as bad as was feared last night. Good luck for a speedy recovery.

Any word on Cozumel!? Returned three days ago from Coz and PDC.

I know...funny..I feel like PDC is my home away from home now. Glad to hear damage is minimal.

Structural damage can be repaired. As long as people are okay.

Wondering the same thing. Our niece lives there and we're concerned over how she and the rest of the Islanders made out. Have checked the Cozumel tripadvisor board and couple of others but nothing is being reported. maybe power is still out.

7am CST....No electricity but many phones work. Streets are extremely difficult to pass - lots of very large trees down, light posts fell on top of buildings. No news of casualties as there's no radio broadcasts yet. Elec went out around 10pm or well before in some areas of town. Cat 2 level winds by 10pm. Worse part of storm between midnight and 2am CST.

I don't have any news for you about the tourists but the convention center was very well secured yesterday. Many phones are out of service so don't be alarmed if you don't hear from them for awhile. It could take awhile for normal services to be restored.

I hope Susie from Paamul went to Cancun and not Coba. Has anybody heard from her?
