Here's hoping that Dean (just downgraded to a category 3 as it made landfall at Chetumal this morning) will deteriorate further and spare you folks in Merida from much more than tropical storm level rain/wind, and lessen the problems it is visiting on Chetumal and other coastal areas.

Add to that the fact that the State of Yucatan is always prepared for emergency and that makes this state an excellent destination for both tourists and expats.
