Thanks, Zack! If we get a hurricane at the 10am update we’ll try and stay here an extra day rather than sitting at the airport overnight. Currently TS wind gusts and nonstop heavy rain. Looks pretty much as you’d expect with all the palm trees here! Water from hallway and balcony seeping into room as we speak. I’ll work on a video update! :tongue:

Eta: Below is a 30-second clip from the end of our hallway from our resort in Cancun. The Caribbean is on the other side of the palm trees.

I always visit this site for updates when we have a storm headed our way at home. Think this is the first time ever I’ve had to worry about a TS hitting us while being away from home! With it not being “our storm” back at home I’m not getting those regular Zack Fradella updates here and on the tv that I’m used to and it’s making me anxious!

A flight this afternoon out of Cancun might be a struggle. This is most likely Hurricane Gamma soon and will probably bring the right eye wall right over you.

Keep us up to date on your conditions. Videos

Video update dos. Headed to airport shortly.

Percentages for 92L have increased.

Shower and thunderstorm activity has become more consolidated since
yesterday near a tropical wave located over the central Caribbean
Sea. Environmental conditions are expected to become more conducive
for development, and a tropical depression could form next week
while the system moves westward or west-northwestward at about 15
mph across the central and western Caribbean Sea and then into the
southern Gulf of Mexico. Locally heavy rainfall and gusty winds
will be possible across portions of Hispaniola, Jamaica, Cuba, and
the Cayman Islands during the next few days, and interests on those
islands should monitor the progress of this disturbance.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...60 percent.

EURO showing a formidable storm coming right at us next week, then stalls and weakens. Looking at the HWRF for Gamma, you can almost see what will likely be Delta in the Gulf. Looks quite organized too.

Guess I made the right decision when I told the hubby to keep the boards up another week or 2. Been having them up since Laura.

Been saying it! When Delta meets the Delta, BEWARE!

Looking at a swing NE in the general direction of the Florida panhandle. Time will tell.
