This is turning into a mini Katrina what with all the looting.
What's better, staying in an upper floor of your hotel where management is trying to keep the guests as comfortable as possible or standing out in the heat on a muddy runway with crying children? Where are these people's brains? Ride it out inside where there's a nice bed, get a good poker game going with the family and raid the hotel's vending machines.
I can understand the tourists who booked vacations months in advance but those locals who couldn't check the 5 day weather reports shouldn't get any sympathy.

The hotels should supply free cerveza and some Acapulco Gold.

Why would anybody go to Mexico for a vacation? I can think of a dozen other third world hellholes I would rather be.

Storm of some kind down there?

"It's horrible. We haven't eaten anything since nine in the morning," said Lizbeth Sasia, a 25-year-old teacher from Cuernavaca. You can go for weeks without food. There are days when I haven't eaten since 6pm the previous day.

We were robbed at gunpoint on the beach there in 1974, by Mexican cops. Haven’t been back. The only place I’ve ever vacationed that had warm ice.

Storm of some kind down there?Apparently a tropical storm closed down the "twin roads to Mexico City." People are waiting for the airlines or government/military to fly them out.

My brother and sister-in-law just had their honey moon in Acapulco a month ago. I bet they are glad they aren’t there now!

That is what I kept asking my brother, especially when they went in the first week of August.
‘Couldn't you find accommodations on the surface of the sun?

Maybe a good number of the unwanted up here can go home and get jobs rebuilding. While they are gone shut the door.
