[@georgeanaya7195]

Jose. thank you for posting this.. great content..lots of amazing sites and sounds of Merida...

[@JoseArteagaTravels]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the kind words!

[@herberthall8082]

In Merida, this was not scary. There were brief periods of mild winds and normal rains. The periods of rain are called "bands.". Today in Merida it rained lightly for 30 minutes, then stopped for 45 minutes then rained for 30 minutes or so, and then repeat. Thanks for the report.

[@JoseArteagaTravels]

Yup! We got very lucky nothing much happened! Thanks for sharing!

[@adriandelatorre8341]

Glad to hear you guys are all good in Merida.

[@JoseArteagaTravels]

You and me both! It was a close call that is for sure!

Muchas Gracias!

[@nanciwarner-carreon7055]

Glad you all didn’t receive a direct hit! Thinking of the Progresso area as well. We were fortunate here northwest of Houston, inland from Galveston, TX coast.

[@JoseArteagaTravels]

So are we! We got very lucky! Thank goodness!

[@delbertarnold4923]

great vid thanks for what u do love the channel. I am looking to move there next year, but want to live in progreso. if it is possible can you doe a vid on the damage in progreso.

[@JoseArteagaTravels]

I showed the damage done in progreso in this video. I do not have the ability nor the means to get out there right now to do a live report. But i can assure you I showed the worst of it. We got lucky in the Yucatan and were spared.

[@J.PaulLucas]

You should do a tour of your house

[@JoseArteagaTravels]

I have in the past. I will look into doing another home tour in the future

[@campampates]

This is the norm for this time of year. It's always September/October time, I landed in Yucatan back in 2005 for Hurricane Wilma, everything was boarded up and super humid...locals are used to it.

[@JoseArteagaTravels]

That is correct just the same old same old out here for the locals. Thanks for sharing!

[@somewhereover5752]

The track has moved to south of Tampa now according to one news account.

[@JoseArteagaTravels]

Thanks for sharing!

[@everardosantana1004]

Florida is so much intense

[@JoseArteagaTravels]

Prayers for Florida

[@Cumminspower187]

I believe Milton will turn and hit us again

[@JoseArteagaTravels]

I really hope not! But who knows these days. Stay safe out there brother!

[@cwisaac22]

Hola :) Where are you? Just curious. Take care!!

[@julietschida9114]

I thought you said you guys moved? That looks like the same place you had where you built your stainless steal kitchen.

[@JoseArteagaTravels]

Jaja I must have misspoke My apologies. We are still in the same spot at the moment but will be moving eventually 😅

[@rmkofmd1398]

What's the longest you've ever been without power at your house in Merida?

[@JoseArteagaTravels]

I think 8 hours tops maybe 12 no more than that. But not every location is the same. Some go days without power. In my case any time we lose power here it is about 2-5 minutes tops before the power comes back on. But this does not happen regularly just once in a blue moon or with very bad weather. We had no problems with power during Milton.

[@1jfresh715]

How is Chelem , Progresso, Telchac???

[@JoseArteagaTravels]

I cover it in the video. It was mostly spared. Just some damage to the Docks and Piers and some properties on the coast, but the rest of the inner coast was totally fine. Only the structures that were right on the beach were damaged.

[@somewhereover5752]

Do you have an Instagram account? Helps me remember to check out your videos. I have friends in Merida from many extended visits there.

[@herberthall8082]

The important thing to remember about hurricanes is that once they or any part of it gets over land, their strength reduces. The distance from Mérida to Progresso is less important because hurricanes don't go north to south. The more important distance is between Mérida and Celestún - 106 kilometers. This protects Mérida from ones coming from that direction. (Just like the 300+ kilometers to Cancun protects us from that direction.) Meredith will experience some of the effects of a hurricane, but the distance from the ocean will greatly reduce any damage caused by it.

[@JoseArteagaTravels]

I do. The link is on my website. But I very rarely post there

[@1jfresh715]

I don't want to watch this😢

[@JoseArteagaTravels]

Don't worry nothing happened. But I understand if you are not interested. Thank you for sharing with us

[@irvinnorris7041]

Jose, aren't you scared for your people in Florida?
