The latest news about Hurricane Dean from the Weather Channel is that it is moving some 100 to 140 miles south of Cancun at the moment. I called Gilberto to Cancun and he said they were ready for whatever Dean brought them. He acknowledged that it appeared that the center of the hurricane would land south of Cancun, more towards Tulum or south of there. This doesn't get Cancun out of trouble thought, as Dean is only a few miles an hour of being designated a category 5 hurricane, the most powerful hurricane there is.
The storm should arrive at the Yucatan by tomorrow evening. Their is rumor that the Cancun airport may close to
night at 5pm.Gilberto said his apartment is full of people, functioning as a sort of hurricane relief center. His daughter, the University architect, and his assistant Javier are a few of the people who are waiting out the storm there.
