Looks like the zone of maximum impact included Tenacatita beach and the village of El Rebalcitos.
About 30 miles north of Melaque.
Damage is bad but gracia a dios, no one was killed, says residents of El Rebalcitos.
If your winter plans include this particular area, a nice gesture would be to bring some generic clothing especially for babies and small children. Customs doesn't like it, but a small roll of 14/2 romex building wire is always appreciated.
With my pathetic income I cannot follow my own advice, but eating out more often helps locals as does biting the bullet on getting big store prices and instead patronize corner stores. I also tend to remember leaving a "giant" 10 peso tip equals far less than a quart of gasoline for the family car.
