Jonna, You know old-timers here have suggested it seemed more like a category 1. The city is already getting put back together, although there are some mammoth piles of tree limbs here and there still.

I’m amazed that it was just a tropical storm, it looks and sounds like it was at least a cat 1. Glad you are all well and safe. Isn’t it amazing how quickly they put things to rights here?

Thanks everyone! Seems like I sort of neglected to comment back. Ooops. By the way, check out Leobardo’s photos, they are really awesome. Thanks for sharing them!

Nancy & Paul,
I am glad that you and your home made it through the storm! I am amazed to see that Plazuela Machado was partially under water. I have only seen it dry and dusty. How much total rain did you measure after the eye passed by? Stay safe & watch out for the new crop of mosquitoes. A bonus is the water reservoir’s are full in the mountains now!

Even with thegarden damage, I am glad to hear that you and Paul are well. Odd summer this. Even when it is fall.

Good record of the event (or should I say non-event) Nancy. Despite its dissipation, it still wreaked havoc here and there, and blew off much of the paint on our house! We hve big psoriatic looking patches all over the front..muy feo. Didn’t realize PV had so much damage…we are meeting someone there in a few minutes to look at a house on Cerro de Vigia.
