 Worked continuously to de-silt the storm drains with severe flooding

Trabajan sin descanso por severas inundaciones

 En desazolve de alcantarillas

Lanrry PARRA

ISLA MUJERES, 14 de junio.
 Various points in Isla Mujeres experienced severe flooding after more than 36 hours of heavy rains were recorded since yesterday morning.  The
    staff of Civil Protection were mobilized to de-silt and unblock storm drains and grates. The flooding affected traffic with some areas becoming to deep to transverse for many types of vehicles. There were comments on social networks about the accumulations of water at the baseball fiels El Pescador, on Rueda Medina, and on Hidalgo. There were unofficial reports of flooding of three homes, and that there were some moored boats that were swamped by the rain accumulating inside of them. The rains are expected to continue until tomorrow, and the staff of Civil Protection will be ready during the night to respond to any possible flooding of homes and flooding at various parts of the island. (Note on Monday morning....the rain has stopped and the flooding is resolved...tho the baseball field still has standing water.)


Captain ordered the port closed for general navigation

Cut off from the mainland

No hay comunicación vía marítima

Capitanía ordena cierre general de puerto

Lanrry PARRA

ISLA MUJERES, 14 de junio.-
       At 12:30 today the Port Authority closed the port for general navigation, including the ferries between Puerto Juarez, Gran Puerto, and Punta Sam, due to gusting winds reaching 50 kilometers per hour. This is the first time in several years that these boats were suspended from crossing, which usually has only happened when there is a real threat of a hurricane.
      It is noted that before the general suspension of navigation, both passenger ferry companies had suspended at least two trips yesterday. The Harbor Master confirmed the General port closure at 12L30 and said that by 7am tomorrow the intensity of the winds and rains should have subsided and should allow the operation of the ferries.
      The ferries suspended their services after the early hours when they prepared to make their first crossings, but the intensity of the winds forced them to cancel the departures. There was at least one crossing cancelled on Saturday, due to the weather.


 Yesterday....

Concern at "La Lomita" over deterioration of anti-hurricane wall

Temor en “La Lomita”

Por deterioro del muro de contención para contrarrestar efectos meteorológicos

Lanrry PARRA
ISLA MUJERES, 13 de junio.-
 Residents who live in the downtown area known as "La Lomita" are concerned about deterioration of the anti-hurricane wall in their area and the 'gabions' (rock filed 'cages') in front of them which have fallen apart. They are concerned that they won't be adequately protected if there is a hurricane.  


Rain paralyzes activities

 Flooding reported in various colonias

Lluvias paralizan las actividades

Lanrry PARRA
ISLA MUJERES, 13 de junio.-
Heavy rains stopped activities for the second time this week, which the port authorities say are forecast to continue through Sunday

Cabalgante riders keep their promise to the Sacred Heart of Jesus church 

Cabalgantes cumplen promesa

A la iglesia del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús

Lanrry PARRA
ISLA MUJERES, 13 de junio.-
 There appeared to be up to 100 riders participating for the mounted parade that was scheduled to begin at 11am and which started at 1pm. Despite the constant rain, the event took place, involving fewer riders than expected. It began on Juarez Avenue, at the monument to Benito Juarez, traveling north to the cemetery, down Lopen Mateo to the monument to the Fishermen on Rueda Medina, where they headed toward the Sacred Heart of Jesus church in colonia La Gloria, traveling down the prolongation of Martinez Ross (they went south down the east side, thru "Aeropuerto" & "Bachilleres") until they reached the church, where they received the blessing of the priest, Raul Sanchez Alonso. The other planned events were cancelled due to the weather.

Yesterday....

 Classes are not suspended in Quintana Roo, despite information to the contrary on social networks.

NO HAY SUSPENSIÓN DE CLASES EN QUINTANA ROO: SECRETARÍA DE EDUCACIÓN
*Las versiones que circulan en redes sobre una suspensión de clases son falsas, aclara José Alberto Alonso Ovando
CANCUN, Quintana Roo, 14 de junio.— La Secretaría de Educación y Cultura informó que NO se ha dispuesto la suspensión de clase en las escuelas de Quintana Roo y desmintió las versiones que circulan en redes sociales en sentido contrario, información que asentó, es totalmente falsa
Dijo que hasta este momento no hay ninguna recomendación del Consejo Estatal de Protección Civil, ni de la Coordinación Estatal de Protección Civil para que la SEyC ordene la suspensión de clases, por lo que, hasta este momento las actividades escolares en todo el Estado serán normales.
Desmintió las versiones que circulan en redes sociales en el sentido que se suspendieron las clases en todo el Estado, y dijo que esta información está siendo enviada dolosamente para causar confusión, por lo que exhortó a los padres de familias, maestros y alumnos a hacerle caso omiso.
—La instancia que puede suspender las actividades escolares es la Secretaría de Educación y Cultura, previa valoración de las recomendaciones de protección civil, hasta ahora no tenemos esa recomendación, y por lo tanto no se ha ordenado ninguna suspensión de labores para mañana, por lo que se tendrán labores normales en todos los planteles del Estado —puntualizó José Alberto Alonso Ovando.

    Even after the pumps were running continously since yesterday, there were concerns among residents of colonia La Gloria and colonia Cañotal that Salina Grande lake could overflow. The staff of Civil Protection confirmed that the pumps are operating at both lakes/salinas since last night. 
        A tour of Salina Grande lake found that the level is being maintained, but it is noted that thousands of cubic meters of water from the constant rains threaten to overwhelm the salina because the level can rise quickly.

Turistas quedan atrapados en la terminal marítima de la ínsula.
    Dozens of domestic and foreign tourists were trapped at the Maritime Terminal, when the Port Authority suspended all trips due to strong winds gusting up to 75 kph. The Harbor Master, Ismael Gonazalez Gil, said that althought the port was closed to general navigation in the afternoon, Ultramar had offered hourly crossings in the morning. Their last trip was at 12:30pm when the port was closed, leaving a long line of passengers waiting to board.
      There was a similar occurence at the cargo ferry where vehicles were loaded on boatd, awaiting authorization to depart, but this never came due to the strong winds that occurred.

Chaos in the city
Caos en la ciudad. [+] Ver mas
     There was flooding on several downtown streets, including Juarez where some families were concerned that if it continued the water may come into their homes. People also expressed concerns about loss of income. Streets experiencing flooding included Rueda Medina, Nicolas Bravo, Hidalgo, Abasolo, and Madero. 
     The Teyer family on Madero said they awoke to 15 centimeters of water in the street outside, and every time a vehicle passed out front, water would enter their home.Some business owners are considering cooperating together to submit a letter to the City asking that this problem be addressed, which represents bad publicity for Isla Mujeres.

Concern about a section of anti-hurricane wall

There is concern over the area located near the Aguakan pump, near the courthouse Juzgado Mixto de Primera Instancia, where the wall was rebuilt after Hurricane Wilma. There is concern that if a Hurricane as strong as Gilberto in 1988 occurs that this and other sections of the wall may not provide adequate protection.
