Change or weather.

We all get so stacked up this time of year. I prefer to look out the window.

I agree. But, I really hope that Brigitte is looking out the window if she's still doing that building project in Chiapas. We're just waiting for rain. It might be a little more hazardous for her.

Security Message for U.S. Citizens:

Tropical Depression Two- E

May 31, 2017



The U.S. Embassy cautions U.S. citizens that Tropical Depression Two-E is expected to strengthen and should approach or move over the Pacific coast of Mexico on Friday, June 2. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has issued a Tropical Storm Watch for the Pacific coast of Mexico from Salina Cruz to Puerto Escondido. Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts. Slow strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours, and the depression could become a tropical storm on Thursday, June 1. The depression is expected to produce total rainfall accumulations of 8 to 12 inches across the Mexican state of Oaxaca with isolated maximum totals of 20 inches possible. These rainfall amounts may produce life-threatening flash floods and mudslides.

All U.S. citizens living in or traveling to the area should monitor local weather reports, the Mexican government’s civil protection (“Protección Civil”) website http://www.proteccioncivil.gob.mx, follow directions from local officials, and take other appropriate actions as needed.
