Solovino You OK?

I've seen pictures on TOB of the damage done by Jova. Please check in and let us know that you're OK if you can.

Bump

Just got internet back. We made it through the storm OK but a lot of people were less fortunate. A very sad situation for many people on the coast. In Barra de Navidad where we're at, it will be next to impossible to repair the damage before the winter tourist season. The near term future is bleak.

Right now the Costalegre is more like the Costatriste.

Wow sorry to hear about such extensive damage and loss. Glad to hear that you and your family are ok Solo.

I'm relieved to hear from you.

I know the situation is bleak right now but I will never underestimate the grit and determination of the Mexican people.

When Kenna made a mess of Vallarta on Oct. 24, 2002, the Malecon was rebuilt and functioning within a month. Last year, when the floods devastated Sayulita, the community came together and pitched in to clean debris, clean the mud out of houses and help those who had lost everything.

Think positively!

I read that many of the counties will be pitching in to help!

We're all glad to hear from you! What a nightmare to go through.

Solovino and family take care and may the capable watch over you, your family and community.

Has anyone heard from Solo or Sparks lately?

NADA! Saw on the TomZap Barra de Navidad forum where Sparks was OK but the place he was house sitting got flooded. Not sure about his place.

Ya llegò por quien lloraban!!!

Came back to Guadalajara yesterday. The much drier climate feels fantastic. Been looking at tons of mud for nearly 2 weeks. Cihuatlan got hit very hard by heavy flooding. A lot of people lost most of their belongings and the area's agriculture took a big hit. Besides the loss of crops, many heads of livestock were swept away.

My hands are still numb from holding the spray wand for hours of power washing.

looks like your tradesmen are going to be very busy this season... glad you're all right!!
