La Manzanilla after Hurricane Patricia

11 Replies

                                           imgo Yesterday, the center of Hurricane Patricia made landfall about 20 miles northwest of La Manzanilla, Jalisco, Mexico, where I usually vacation and for the past four years have  spent two months a year. In this picture taken five years ago, the palapa to the right is the ocean-facing porch of my home away from home in La Manzanilla, on the Pacific coast, before Patricia. That is my friend okcforgottenman, blogger extraordinaire, making a “V” for “Very Pale.”

For La Manzanilla during Hurricane Patricia go HERE to see a  4-second video directed at my palapa rental from the back as the winds finally knock the webcam to the ground.

For La Manzanilla after Hurricane Patricia go HERE to see  a video made today. It looks like the house I rent is still standing on the street side (at 2:14 into the video), but I haven’t seen it from the ocean side. Thanks, okcforgottenman, for sending it to me.

      Yes, but time and again the people who lost their homes or had the most damage just said they were so grateful no family members were injured. People did what they were warned about and advised to do. This is an additional reason there were no deaths or injuries.

        Amazing no injuries or deaths. WOW. When you wrote about your house being your prized possession. I can totally understand why. My first thought when I saw the daily prompt …. my life. But then that goes with my story too. 😀
