I hope that no one has a camper in the Rio Grand Valley now:
....there could be a tremendous quantity of rain coming for the RGV Friday/Saturday. I hope this doesn't materialize!

Funny you should bring up Honduras. I had a co-worker that was building their low cost very nice retirement home on the coast. When I asked a different co-worker from Belize why they don't do that, his reply is that's what the tourist do. Locals build back in the jungle to stay away from the hurricanes and the surge.
Other funny thing about that post was the word mosquitoes. I was leaving Hill Country to spend a month in Rockport,TX when I saw Rockport got 12 inches of rain. Figured I must have seen that wrong and it must have been 1.2 inches of rain. Nope, it was 12 inches, not bad at all for that area till two weeks went by. I was killing 3-4 mosquitoes with every slap. It was He!! on earth.
....hah hah...LOL. We love Arizona (and, southern Utah: near Bluff). But we also like to see the ocean (or rather, look at it directly), so North Florida has been our fave area. However, our area got nailed by a serious hurricane last year LOL
Where exactly was your co-worker building along the Honduras coast?
Even in Belize (I know Belize well), I would seek some higher ground as close to the coast as possible (with a view). My favorite geographical area of Honduras (away from storm surge, but not the wind forces of a hurricane) is the mountain slope up behind Trujillo (Honduras). This slope survived Mitch impressively well.
