Here's the deck about noon today with our heroic satellite dish, I can't believe we are still online through it. 
The red flag is up.
Here's the next band coming towards us.
Apparently Alma had a sex change in Central America and is now Arthur, a tropical storm with sustained winds of 40mph and gusts to 60mph.
Mimi went to Playa this morning and said it wasn't too bad, it was a bit of a lull. I admit, I haven't left my aerie and I'm not sure I'm going to. Except, as Nancy commented, we are down to zero beer! Bad planning. No one seemed to realize this was going to be this strong though, it kind of snuck up on us from the south/west.

Man, you have an absolutely AMAZING view!!!!
Even with the storm coming in, it's gorgeous.
Is it weird of me to say that I kind of miss tropical storms. It NEVER thunders or lightenings in Santiago. Maybe because of where we are situation in between all the mountains? I'm not sure, I'm not meteorologist :)

Thanks for the laugh!
I have to agree with Mamacita about your absolutely stunning view you have.
Glad to hear you guys are o.k., and I totally laughed to at the line about the sex change. :-)
Sure like your view! Would love to be there to watch the storm come ashore! We live in Naples, FL, but are about 4 miles in from Vanderbilt Beach so don't get the view you have.
Been very dry here but just got our first decent rain from the everglades this afternoon. Looks like our summer rain pattern has returned at long last.

Hang on tight ladies! Thanks for sharing the great pics, hope you got some beer and are settled in. Looks like you're up for more wind, keep us posted on what's up while you have la luce.
Hold tight to Tito, wouldn't take much to blow him away! :)
I was blissfully ignorant of what was going on in your part of the peninsula. The sky is gorgeous in your photos though. The hurricane shutters also serve as a great way to burglarproof your home while you are gone. If you need another reason.
Hang on tight! We'll be thinking of you.
regards,
Theresa
Glad you made it through Alma or Arthur - I was in Chiapas and it was one heck of a lot of rain....and of course, was on vacation so had no news or anything to give me an idea of whether to "evacuate" or what....on Saturday driving through the mts. in "dense" fog was NOT an adventure but damn scary. All is well - it's over and I'm back in San Miguel. Your photos are magnificent!!!!
