Good Morning !
I've just listened to LOVEFM and the general info is more or less like this .......
Although alarming to hear about, the evacuation of low areas of Belize City, Ladyville etc was pro-active and admittedly erring on the side of caution. Why - because Rina did not turn north at the time this turn was expected. Had Rina continued due west, Belize City could expect to be hit. Being a little below sea level that is serious - and being one year since Richard, memories are fresh.
As of 6 am Rina is slowing its forward track and has made a hint of a turn north. Forecasters still expect Rina to follow a northward track, and to impact Cancun and Cozumel as a Hurricane, either CAT2 or CAT3.
If weather events proceed as predicted, San Pedro will experience winds under 45 MPH, some rain and high water in the lagoon.
AC evacuations were focused on those living in low-lying areas - San Mateo, San Juan, San Pedrito and DFC. That is still the case.
We we're having rain now, skies are fully gray. It's very cool and the winds are from the back.
I don't think anybody has boarded up. Most boats are out of the water.
That's the current report --- good to pay attention, but there seems no serious risk here at the moment other than Mother Nature once again telling us that San Mateo was a bad idea.
