First of all, as I expected, the story of the hurricane devolved into a hit on a single village with 40 inhabitants out in the middle of nowhere, and that is why there was no noticeable damage. The hurricane miraculously hit an area that had only 40 people living in it (on a fully populated coastline) and exploded into a million tiny pieces when it hit a mountain. Surprisingly as well, there was no flooding anywhere, and they explained that away because the "hurricane maintained a speed of 20 miles an hour".

Evidently the Mexican authorities believe the B.S. and are thanking God for how kind mother nature was to them, for having a category 5 hurricane not even match the damage of an average tropical depression. Sort of like that 9.0 earthquake in Japan that did practically zero damage outside the tsunami zone, another "natural phenomenon" that took a LOT of explaining . . . . .

Low and behold, after the stories were told about where this thing went, I was in the damage path, and NOTHING HAPPENED AT ALL, there was not a whisper of wind and only a quarter of an inch of rain fell total. Anyway, there is nothing to see and by the way, there is a major road that follows the coastline and passes right through the hurricane landfall zone and not a single car was thrown, bus washed away, NADA. I have taken that road several times. It is the only way up the West coast. Business as usual today at the many taco stands that dot the route . . . .
