Even on a Tornado wind scale, 200mph is the second worst rating at F4 and that's considered devastating. Much less this being a hurricane on a large scale.

I assume at this point in time there is not much expectation except it is going to hit at that wind speed.

Do you know if this live stream is legit? If so, I wonder how long it will hold up.

I love 10, seen it many times. Great story, cast, good location
shooting. Bo Derek is amazing, talk about every man's fantasy.

If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

This 3 bedroom resort villa, Costa Careyes La Playa, rented for $5500/night in off season and up to $8500/night for holiday weeks was pretty close to dead center landfall. That whole coastal area of Mexico has some of the highest end vacation spots in Mexico.

Mazatlan (about 300 miles north) is a much more affordable beach town within a ten hour drive of the border.

There's no such thing as a good hurricane, but also no such thing as one not hyped by the media. I swear they seem disappointed if they cannot report massive casualties and wholesale tragedy.

The media often hype the breakdown after a disaster... local cops running amok, thieves stealing a bottle of drinking water by slicing a tourist's hand off, water going for several hundred dollars, rapes, robbery.
