Counting down the days until we move. Erick is the first major hurricane – Category 3 or greater – on record to hit Mexico before July. The hurricane maxed out as a ferocious Category 4 storm with 145 mph winds just off the coast in the earliest hours of Thursday morning. Fortunately it was south of us but Mazatlan still felt the power of the storm.
We all had small swimming pools in our yards.
It rained for over 15 hours and remained dreary and drizzly all the next day. Needless to say it was 100% humidity.
We had the air conditioning on inside the RV and the temperatures matched at 74-75F. We could not get the inside humidity any lower than 59%.
First Damage of the Rainy Season: Very old staircase collapsed after very minimal rains since last night. Photo and words by Eric Streit.
The depth of construction, combined with the upcoming rains may collapse Herradura, the street above Olas Altas, that is home to one of the the city’s most iconic views.
It will take inmediate action, clever engineering, and a lot of rebar & concrete to prevent a disaater. Per Eric Streit.
Typical street when there is heavy rain in Mazatlan.
Calle Chivos, right outside our gates.
As long as we don’t get any more rain we will be fine to leave next Sunday. Contessa’s Corner handled the storm perfectly.
This is the link to the FB post made by Eric Streit with more photos and interesting comments about the situation of the collapse above Olas Altas.
I’m so glad you are scheduled to move on Sunday.
Fingers crossed all goes smoothly.
See you are still the 5C’s – suspect that means the 5th one has not reappeared!
Hugs to you both.
Looks like the time is right to move on to Las Jaibas for a few months. Hope the move goes well and any and all rain will hold off until the move is completed. Sending hugs and prayers for both of you.
I am so happy to hear that all is getting better for Colin, and that he is regaining his strength and mobility. It seems to be that this type of situation ‘stroke’ affects all so differently.
Moving to mazatlan main will give you way better and more convenient medical services, albeit, los jaibas isn’t as nice as your current spot.
Keep on getting better Colin, love from Patricia and Denis.
Contessa, eventually everything will be back to normal.
Enjoy each day as it happens. Positive thinking certainly helps.
I’ve been watching the storm as it tears apart that side of mexico, hopefully no injuries.
WOW, Eric was a strong one; thanks to the Lord it didn’t negatively affect U four. Praying here for a smooth moving experience to Las Jaibas; it may not be as pretty as your present spot, but it will surely help with your groceries & other needed shopping activities making your life easier & more relaxed.
Looks like our compound made it thru the storm! Hope your move will be smooth! Will be much safer in the RV park. Take care. Hi Colin.
Wishing Colin a continued recovery. ❤️🩹 Wishing you peace of mind. And a smooth move.
Contessa, wish Colin is greatly improving & today’s moving activities run easily & smoothly.
Virtual hugs to the bunch. 🌿 🌺 🌿
thinking of you Sunday. Hope your move went smoothly. Hope Colin is continuing to improve and you are getting some rest. Just found out this morning that Rafa doesn’t work there any more. What a shame he would have been so much help. Take care.
