Re: Prolonged Hurricane Force Winds Now Affecting Cancun

Also, don't forget about the equally dangerous microbursts that hurricanes spawn as well.

In the previous thread, there was a discussion on tornadoes . It was noted a "Train" sound is heard when one is approaching.
This is not always the case. Last year, during Frances we had a small twister come through our property, that had no train sound, nor was it picked up by Noaa or radar.
We knew of the risk by listening to our weather radio when everything else was down. It's important to follow what the officials say. And in times like these, don't forget to check on your neighbors.
