Another Miss, Always Another Miss!
Hurricane Dean was headed toward Veracruz. It was rebuilding strength as it crossed the Gulf of Mexico. Its heading varied a little during its transit, but the day before landfall we were the bulls-eye.
The people of Veracruz didn’t seem to notice.
They never pay attention. The hurricanes always miss. But we paid attention. We and our language school students traveled inland for safety.
During the night, the hurricane turned northward. Everyone knew it would, everyone except us. No one was worried, no one except us.
So, Veracruz is once again totally undamaged. We returned to town the next day and it was as if we’d never left.
