Looking at maps, and reading the thoughtful commentary on Jeff Masters' weather blog at wunderground.com, I think the worst of the storm passed south of Merida and our Mayan friends in the Mexican state of Yucatan. Now, there are Mayan peoples, and Presbyterians south of Yucatan state on the peninsula, down into Belize and Guatemala, etc. We need to pray for them and to be ready to help them if we can.
Many of the folks in Mexico live in concrete houses with or without windows. This must be a frightening day for folks exposed to 100 mph winds.
The two presbytery camps I have been to on the Yucatan's Gulf coast are well north and east of the worst winds from Dean. It also looks like the worst storm-surge was on the eastern side of the peninsula.
