Jesus just talked to SSP 30 miles north of Lazaro. Cops say road is chopped in so many places no one has an idea of how bad, yet. The gigantic steel mill in Lazaro Cardenas has punch with gobernacion. Jesus says Marinas Helicopters have been passing overhead since dawn - lots of them. They are assisting isolated residents and mapping the derrumbles the slide area. No trailered equipment yet but north from Lazaro to Maruata and south from Manzanillo to Maruata has been the custom in past storms.
The bad damage is Mex 200 to the north Puerto Vallarta to Manzanillo/Tecoman. Myself, I would want to wait a few days for confirmed info from the government. PASSENGER BUS COMPANIES have access to information we mortals do not. A call to the bus station say ESTRELLA BLANCA which is a big one and ask if tickets can be purchased to X.
27" of rain in 3 days reported my son in law. I put in three gauges so the figure is likely to not be a gross error.
The SCT is a master at cleanup improvisation. Two more days will bring about-near-miracles in road opening.
In heavy rain area from the school of hard knocks..
Fuel up only in brand new gasolineras that have fuel dump ports set in concrete pads. Look for the pads. You don't need to take on a bunch of rain water. :)
