HURRICANE PATRICIA UPDATES

Posts from news articles, bulletin boards, and Facebook groups.

All times are Sayulita time.  (Central time USA)

Monday 26 OCT 2015 9:00 AM: Just to reiterate...Sayulita sustained NO damage from hurricane Patricia. On this Monday morning, it is business as usual. It is a beautiful, sunny day. Surfers are out, kids are heading to school, shopkeepers are sweeping the sidewalks. CFE is in town removing some utility poles that have gone unused since the power was placed under the sidewalks in centro.

1:25 PM: Here is the list of items needed down south. Collection is at Iguana Garden tomorrow, Sunday, 10-6pm. Please share this! We are also trying to reach a nonprofit in the area for cash donations. The people are very much in need of construction materials so cash can go toward that. Stay tuned and please help if you can. Thanks all!

1:03 PM The sun is out in Sayulita, the rains have stopped, still no wind. The surfers are enjoying some waves. There is NO damage from hurricane Patricia. Businesses are opening back up, and the rain has washed all of the streets. Feeling very fortunate today and our thoughts are with our neighbors to the south who faced the brunt of this terrible storm.
