Re: Dean

God help the people of Mexico, this is going to be just total destruction. I think the winds might have been 170 plus at landfall given some of the things I am seeing. I just went to Costa Maya in February and visited some of the Ancient Ruins. Glad I did, cause they likely won't be there soon.

"REPORTS FROM AN AIR FORCE HURRICANE HUNTER PLANE INDICATE THAT THE
EYE OF DEAN MADE LANDFALL ON THE EAST COAST OF THE YUCATAN
PENINSULA NEAR COSTA MAYA OR MAJAHUAL AROUND 330 AM CDT. THIS
LOCATION IS ABOUT 40 MILES...65 KM...EAST-NORTHEAST OF CHETUMAL
MEXICO"
