Tropical Storm Karen Leaves A Morning of Heavy Rain & Cruise Cancellation in Cozumel

Last week Tropical Storm Karen passed over Cozumel.  Municipal authorities took all the necessary precautions, including the closure of all island schools for the day.  Fortunately, the storm was a bit of a non-event, leaving only 50.7 mm/1.99 in of rain, in what amounted to a very stormy half day.  Karen continued her path north, which caused cruise ships to deviate from their original itineraries.  In fact, the Carnival Elation, which was scheduled to call into Cozumel on Tuesday, was rerouted, not due to inclement weather here on island, but rather at her port of origin.

An ex-Connecticut Yankee who has called Cozumel home for over 18 years, Laura ran away to the Caribbean years ago, bumped around the islands teaching SCUBA diving, lost some time in Jamaica, and finally stopped in Cozumel for a 2 week vacation that hasn’t ended yet. With a degree in Journalism from a fancy private college she convinced her parents to pay for, Laura writes, edits, and creates the weekly Cozumel 4 You news, social media, and promotional articles about the island, as well as moderates the Cozumel 4 You Facebook group, which currently has over 25,000 members. Her long suffering husband, Fabian, has long since resigned himself to having zero private life, as he’s been involved in her various schemes and plots since his arrival. Proud parents to a variety of rescue dogs and cats, Laura continues to be the bane of her traditional Mexican mother-in-law’s existence, as she muses her way through life in the Mexican Caribbean. ______________________________ Una ex yanqui de Connecticut quien llama hogar a Cozumel desde hace más de 15 años.
