This is going to be an expensive one too. It is aimed right at Puerto
Lallarta the last I heard and I doubt their building code was up to
the challenge when all of those hotels and condos were built.
The only good news is it will pass east of them on it's current track
so the surge will be behind the eye and not in front of it. You
usually get a lesser flood that way but it may be a blue sky thing
that takes people by surprise. If it is moving fast enough, there
might not be any surge at all.
