Really weird weather lately. At same time Prague barely 14 and cold, here 34 and unsupportable heat (both cities are yeah let say a good hour by plane...)

Even some careful single digits already on the west of that map, lucky  

 

Although after a hot week here it's also rather nice now the past few days, with maximum temperatures topping out at 19-20 or so

Meanwhile more and more images are emerging and half the city seems to have been, well, destroyed, basically. Most appartment complexes are standing, but that's quite literally all they're still doing: standing. Entirely blown out, they're basically empty carcasses, the only thing that didn't happen to most is actual collapse (of course plenty of smaller buildings did that as well).

 

This aerial footages says quite a lot about the incredible destruction.

 

 

 

Just going to hope @mrv86 and his family/friends don't live in or near Acapulco?

Thanks for your concern, and fortunately, neither me nor my friends or family, live near Acapulco.

 

What’s sad is that this is one of the states that is a stronghold for MORENA, the governing “welfare leftist” party, which just a month ago suppressed and took all the money from the federal fund for disasters because “it wasn’t necessary”, when in reality it is being funneled into the presidential campaign of the president’s dauphine, same woman who in her previous two government posts did nothing during the 2017 Mexico City earthquake and the collapse of the “metro” lines two years later.

Tropical storm earlier this year must have got TJ relatively good though, or was it just far enough north in San Diego?

Calling disasters like the hurricane in Mexico or the earthquake in Morocco or floods in Libya 'punishment from God' is some nice old-school medieval thinking. Life was simple, back in the year 1400, when people didn't know stuff yet.
