He all,

I found this interesting story (http://www.weather.com/newscenter/topstories/082307_dean.html)on weatherchannel.com. It's sort of a wrap up of Hurricane Dean and how Mexico responded. I had not heard of the deaths yet, but it could have been much, much worse.

Prayers to those who lost loved ones, and property in this storm.

Bearer of bad news time...the death toll sits around 10 (I don't think any were from the Tulum area), the Mahajual cruise port and the small town suffered severe damage and there's doubts that the ships will return for at least a year (if at all), most of the losses were uninsured so loss reports are going to be very underestimated as they only look at filed claims. On the bright side, this could have been so much worse so you've got to focus on the positive. Thanks for the update, Dan.

Great article Dan = I hadn't heard of the deaths either. My prayers to the families who lost loved ones.
