Hurricane Grace in Cancun: underwhelming · 3:11am Aug 20th, 2021
My home is a ferrocrete fortress, like the average Mexican home.
I only had to board up one window, which is the only window in my home that faces wind and I haven't changed to acrylic.
The wind did rattle my windows, and the wind howled all night through my side alley, but that was perfectly expected.
Nonetheless, I couldn't fall asleep until somewhere between 5 and 6AM. All I know is that the sky was beginning to light up.
I woke up at 11am. All my friends began checking in around 11:30AM, all complaining about being unable to sleep.
My mother too complained, but it turned out to be because the winds tossed an empty bucket on her walled roof and it kept dragging around all night.
So, everything's fine.
And yeah, I found a pigeon when I went to walk my dog in the evening. The pigeon got a slight injury on its back. I hope it flies away in a few days, but if it doesn't, I'll name it Axel.
I sincerely hope I didn't just acquire a new pet. Nothing against you, Axel, but I don't want a second pet.
