After the La Manzanilla quake, we were on our way south, and did what homework we could do with early internet. We were able to discover that the crown on the cathedral in PV had toppled, nothing more.
When we got around the Melaque area, we saw huge piles of stuff-vehicle/tractor parts, pipes, basic debris, on the side of the road in HUGE piles. When we got to Boca de Iguana, we spend some serious time with the late Michele. We had gone through the US Gulf War there and knew him. We asked him about the tsumani, and when, at his request, changed from English to Spanish, were shocked at the extent of the wave. Fortunately, he and his family had moved inland to "properly" educate their children and had employees taking care of the park. We can both still picture what he told us about what happened.
The two of us have advanced degrees in marine biology, and supposedly understand what the ocean can do. We have always lived on the beach, formerly in California, now permanently in Zihuatanejo.
The ocean is a wonderful, fabulous, harsh mistress. Mother Nature is not to be ignored. Live well and respect her!
