More than 4 million without power, 100 degrees and rising Link for what? Can you read in Spanish, uni-lingual tard? I'm here, reporting. I'm better than the news and I don't use pop-up ads or need your email to read my story. Crisis may be averted. We have power reported on the northern peninsula coast and I have power 30 minutes south of there. It's not like I have a reason to lie. You don't need a link. The news are liars anyways. If it were a nuclear meltdown would they tell us? Hell no.. Anyway, twitter is your friend for news from real people. I think we should give the Mexicahn a break. It's air conditioning doom, averted. Their sources are the local taco stand ffs. And, the news are liars. Si? |

More than 4 million without power, 100 degrees and rising I lived in West Africa for a couple years. 110-120 degree temps are the norm. Quoting: Gelatinous Mass To deal with heat like this, wet a hand towel, wring it out, roll it up the long way and hang it around you neck. This tricks out the thermoreceptors (part of the somatosensory system) in the neck and head and will make things much more comfortable. Keep a bottle of water with you as doing this screws with the normal cooling functions of the body. But it works. Truth. When I used to spar in competitions, i kept a box of baby wipes with me that had been in the freezer. Would plaster them to the back of my neck between rounds.

Maybe your friends.. I am gringo but acclimated to the climate.. Just filled my swimming pool with 150 kilos of ice ...from the hotel urinals. I will probably regret asking this -------- but why do they put ice in urinals? Because broken glass is harder to chew. That didn't even make sense. Meh. So, the honest answer is because nobody wants to smell other men's hot piss, no matter how drunk we are. Ewww!! Yeah, I was right. I should not have asked.

More than 4 million without power, 100 degrees and rising It would be helpful and nice of you all if you would Quoting: Colibri cut the jokes and we could get more first hand reports of locals of what is going on. What is the estimated time this will be fixed and power restored to all, etc. reports from people without power? Exactly...why not just go out n about if they're wonderin what the locals are doin. Maybe head to some of the places with back up power as they'd have more local info than a conspiracy site thousands of miles away anyways. |

More than 4 million without power, 100 degrees and rising With the electric grid down every nuclear plant in that area is going to have problems keeping their reactor cooling systems working. The back up generators won't last for ever. We will have multiple melt downs. Fukushima part 2. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71061577 Valid concern.. I'll be keeping a close eye in that, however possible.. Anyone have an inline radar map for North America that includes Mexico? There's only 1 nuclear plant and its in veracruz (laguna verde) How many reactors in that one plant? Any lost coolant systems yet? |

More than 4 million without power, 100 degrees and rising I've been to the Yucatan 38 times. NEVER after april however. Only idiots travel there during the summer (early summer). Even with AC it is unbearable. Quoting: Elsabiades.. 70713415 It's a great area! Yes, it's brutal in May.. June will be better, and in September we'll be smooth sailing again. Best weather here is november through March-ish.. At 3pm mid-may (like today) you can get heat stroke in 10 minutes, walking. No joke! One day last week, maybe 2 weeks ago, it was 93 degrees at 10pm with 90% humidity and absolutely not even the slightest breeze. Nights like that are just ridiculous. We order tacos and sit in the pool with cold beers if we're not hiding in the AC. It's so hot and humid sometimes that the AC condenser almost cannot function to create cold air. Anyway, we're not complete pussies here and the regional locals here are hardcore in respect to handling this heat. It's no joke. Worse then the Everglades mid-july. I think everyone is happy to have the power back, hopefully it stays that way. |

Another poster mentioned Veracruz as the only state with a nuclear plant in Mexico and they weren't affected. Although the electrical infrastructure may not be the finest on earth here, it works well and we use a lot of clean energy when possible. Especially here in Yucatan. Many people in the pueblos (smaller towns) are using solar, re-using water (shower/dishwater-to-toilet or shower-to-garden), and making good use of the resources such as planting ALL of their mango/avacado/papaya seeds along the backroads just for free backup food or a snack for the random traveler.. It's kinda cool. The descendants of the Maya (they're still maya) use nature very effectively and responsibly, it's nice to see.. By the way, Yucatan is the number one exporter of high-quality honey, 23% of global volume is produced here.. When the corn farmers were swindled into using only Monsanto seeds, the beekeepers noticed an effect (similar to what some of you are aware of in other parts of the world, including the beekeepers who proved Round-up chemicals were causing CCD) on the honeybees, the took Monsanto to court and kicked them the fuck out of the whole Yucatan. Banned Monsanto, totally, who sued in retaliation (typical).. Anyway it's nice to be somewhere where people live daily with a real respect for nature and all it provides, and that they stand up for nature over money. |
