Here in Veracruz, winds are gusting to over 45 mph, and they say there will be gusts to 60 or better, before this is all over with. I can look out toward the ocean (barely visible) and it's like foggy out. Except that the reduced visibility is due to blowing sand. Due to the rivers, there is a lot of pulverized organic material in the sand, and it can penetrate through closed windows and doors...really makes a mess, and I should close up my computer, but I'm sure it's already filled with the stuff from its years already spent here. Don't hear too much about "nortes" (cold fronts) in Cancun. In the Florida Keys, winds hardly ever gust much over 30 during one of these fronts. Do you guys get them as severely as we do here???....or they more Keys-like, kinder and gentler?
I hear you Rick. I played on a national baseball championship in Veracruz last month and the Norte back then had 120 km/hr gusts. Out of the 7 games we played, there were 5 shotouts. Wonder why?
