The Truth About Mexico!

Norte #33 was a Doozy

February 25th, 2010 • Related • Filed Under

I am typing this from the one room in the house that has power, after getting socked for the last 24 hours with one of the most powerful nortes I have ever seen. The waves were breaking on people’s houses, and our neighbor’s house was covered in foam that was being spit up from the ocean. We drew the blinds, put on an episode of Gilmore Girls, stuck our fingers in our ears, and were content to pretend none of it was happening, until we lost power on one side of the house. We still have the house with computers and television, but not the side with, oh, water.

While we wait for CFE to show up, here is a (somewhat crappy) video I shot yesterday, in the storm. Enjoy!
