Hurricane Zeta

[k4kafka]

Experienced my first hurricane last night as Zeta hit the island with wind and rain around 5:30 yesterday. Winds increased throughout the evening with power flickering on and off at Casa Mexicana. From my hotel balcony I saw electrical transformers exploding in the night sky as the storms full power took effect. It was quite a light show ! Around 8 PM, the hotel generator kicked-in and stayed on all night, as the roaring winds increased. Amazingly, the hotel WiFi is still on this morning. Will update as the sun rises and damage can be assessed. Obviously the port will remain closed until further notice from the harbor master. Aldora has hopes of afternoon dives later today. We shall see...

Friend / Boat captain went down to the marina this morning and it appears that the boats there road out the storm OK.

NO it could be worse, lets put this one behind us and move on.

Thanks for info from the island for those of us at home watching and waiting for news on how thankfully the island was spared once again!

Wind was mostly from the NE to SE - way worse winds than the last storm but much less rain. I hate to think what the East side looks like.

We were evacuated to Playacar Palace Sunday afternoon. Any information on when ferry services resume would be appreciated

Here are some photos from Mateo. He tells me the Rasta Bar roof is heavily damaged but the photo looks repairable plus some other shot's from town. Otates (whatever the new name is) lost its roof.
