HURRICANE GUSTAV AND GENEVIEVE!

BEAUTIFUL CANCUN!

I KNOW THE YUCATAN PENINSULA

IS NO STRANGER TO HURRICANES!

IF YOU PLAN TO VISIT...DO SO NOV.-MAY.

HURRICANE SEASON USUALLY GOES

FROM JUNE - OCT.

THE HIGHEST HURRICANE THREAT IS

SEPT. AND OCT.

WE WERE THERE LAST YEAR. (IN MAY)

THEY WERE STILL REBUILDING AFTER

HURRICANE WILMA IN 2005.

400 MILES TO THE SOUTH

IS MY 2ND FAVORITE BEACH EVER!

IN COSTA MAYA.

(BOATYARD IN BARBATOS My fav. Beach)

In CANCUN:

THEY HAD 2 NEAR MISSES IN 2007 DEAN AND FELIX

AND AS RECENT AS JULY 2008 TROPICAL STORM DOLLY VISITED CANCUN.

WILMA HIT CANCUN FOR 36 HOURS STRAIGHT.

SEVEN HURRICANES HIT LAND

THAT YEAR ALONG THE MEXICAN COASTLINE.

DEVASTATING THE BEACHES. HOTELS ETC.

THE REASON FOR THE POST...

IS OUR DAUGHTER JENNIFER

IS IN CANCUN WITH A COUPLE OF HER GIRL FRIENDS.

SHE IS SUPPOSED TO FLY HOME THURSDAY.

THEY HAVE UPGRADED GUSTAV AND IT

IS FORCASTED TO HIT CUBA

THEN GAIN SPEED AND HEAD NORTH.

AM I WORRIED? DO YOU KNOW ME?

MY HUSBAND (MR. NO PROBLEM NO CONCERNS)

IS SLEEPING SOUNDLY..WHILE ME ON THE OTHER HAND

IS READING EVERY UPDATE I CAN FIND!

READING ABOUT HURRICANES..

I HAVE LEARNED A FEW THINGS I DID NOT KNOW...

GLOBAL WARMING IS CONTRIBUTING

TO THE FIERCE ONSLAUGHT OF

SO MANY TROPICAL STORMS IN THE ATLANTIC,

DUE TO THE WARM TEMPERATURE OF THE WATER AND AIR.

THIS IS A PICTURE OF

THE SEVEN HURRICANES THAT WENT ASHORE IN 2005!CRAZY!!!!!!

I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED!

IF YOU KNOW MY DAUGHTER JEN....

YOU KNOW SHE IS VERY INDEPENDENT

AND NOT VERY OPENLY AFFECTIONATE!

SO LIVING UP TO HER TRUE NATURE...

SHE HAS NOT CHECKED IN AT HOME!

DISTURBING:THE WEB CAM IN CANCUN IS COMPLETELY BLACK.

IT MUST BE DOWN.

I WANTED TO SEE SUNNY SKIES!

JENNIFER...... (GENEVIEVE....not really her name!)

IF YOU READ THIS...PHONE HOME!
