Well, it’s 11:50pm in downtown Cancun and so far not that much has happened at all. We are supposed to be experiencing the most intense part of the storm in a couple of hours. I think we may get a few bumps and gusts yet, but right now things are quiet. Is it the lull before the storm or do we escape unscathed?

We did have a storm around 9pm which lasted around half an hour, and looked likely to be just the start. But it died away, we had some lights flicker but that didnt last long either. It’s not even rained here for two hours. I just went outside and we dont even have puddles in the street. Seriously! Winds are light and the only noise I can hear is a slight rustling of treetops and the hum of air con units.

Looking at the wind speed probabilities in Cancun for winds greater than 50 knots, the National Hurricane Center’s map shows a 0% chance for Cancun. And judging by what I see outside they are very much spot on.

It’s been a long day today, around 16 hours online. I’m off to sleep. If anything wakes me I’ll get out of bed and post but I’m starting to hope this may well be the most welcome anticlimax Cancun has seen in it’s short history.
