A word to the wise, be careful what you wish for…
After almost two weeks of 90º+(F) temperatures, late this afternoon lightening flashed, thunder rumbled, gusty winds replaced still humid air, and on Tlaloc’s command, torrential rain and hail pounded Oaxaca city. Water began coming in closed doors and windows, plants and chairs overturned on the terrace, an empty concrete bag flew up and over a ten foot fence and across the forty-five feet of my terrace landing at my doorstep, and power went out for almost two hours.
This evening, at Casita Colibrí, plants have been righted, chairs have been retrieved and stacked, and flooded floors have been mopped. However, in other parts of the city, there are reports of trees and power lines down, massive flooding, and a roof collapsed at Central de Abastos. Initial news reports (en español):

Lucky you. We’re still waiting on Tlaloc’s command here.
A little more rain around the same time today but, thank goodness, not as dramatic AND the temperatures have cooled a little!
That’s wonderful! We had a storm come in last night and it was terrible. It rained so hard parts of my hometown flooded. Water even got into our house! No doubt when Tlaloc gets going, nothing can stop him.
I wrote the note before I saw your blog. Glad your damage was minimal!
No damage here, just a bit of a mess to clean up!
Are you ok, Shannon? Did you feel the
Earthquake? Glad nothing was really destroyed
At your home! Praying for everyone in
your town🙏😘💫💥
All is well here… didn’t feel the earthquake last week, just the sound of windows rattling. And, no damage from yesterday’s tormenta, just some mopping up. 😉
