It was the second fastest intensification ever from Tropical Depression to Hurricane! Hurricanes dont "hover" (well Wilma did, but typically they don't). They move along a path, the exact path is hard to predict this far out. How long any effects last depends on how fast the storm is moving and how close we are to the centre.
Anyone out there cancelling or thinking about it? We are hanging in there that we can still fly in Thursday, then ride it our Friday, it will be one hell of a Hurricane party! I am already packed and ready to come!
This thread is in the locals forum, so most of us are stuck with it whatever happens since we live here. Here's the similar thread with more tourist input: Temptation Resort Cancun Forum | Cancuncare Forum Still too early to say exactly what might happen. If it's a direct hit the hotel may well be evacuated, and that wont be much fun at all. But let's not think about that at this stage. Hope you have a fab time with or without Rina.
I just got in today and I didnt even know there was a hurricane out there!!!! someone mentioned a CAT 3 , I have evacuated for every hurricane that has hit Texas , not looking forward to riding this one out!!!!!
The info in the graphics for this storm looks like a Cat 1 now, increasing to Cat 3 by later tonight or tomorrow morning and then back down to a Cat 2 when it goes past Cozumel and up the coast towards Cancun. Gone by late Friday night. Of course I hope this plays out this way. But you can never tell and the computer models have this all over the area. Can we start a Hurrican Rina Go away chant now and keep it going till Friday?
Holy F#*%k guys be careful and say your prayers for EVERYONE in Cancun. They don't need to see this coming after finally recovering from the last big one.
Seriously just how much of my stuff should I wrap up, put in bags, lift off the floor etc? Also if HZ get evacuated anyone want a nice clean family of 3 plus a small dog for a hurricane party ?????
Is Steve's image auto updating????? Looks like a cat 3 now, Thur 8 AM over Cozumel and Playa. Hurricane Rina : Tracking Map : Weather Underground
