The multimillion undocumented worker population of the U.S. is a sad testament to the fact that Mexico and Central and South American countries have some very serious problems, and the same holds true for the huge migration patterns of Yucatecos, Chiapanecos, Oaxaqueños, Tabasqueños and Veracruzanos to the northern border of Mexico. Mérida is a wonderful city for we Mexicans and for extranjeros who can afford its perks, but let´s not kid oursevles when it comes to the realities faced by local majorities who are not born into the middle or upper classes.

Henriette just hit Baja - and now the people (gringos included) are in shelters and asking for water, food, and clothing. After the storm? Yucatan has everything ready before the storm. How can people wait until after it hits to get ready? Once again, Yucatan wins - hands down, far and away. If ever there was a reason to live in Yucatan, hurricane preparedness is it.
