Hurricane Dean Continues Its Rampage; Total Damages Still Unknown

This morning, Hurricane Dean slammed into Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula with sustained winds of 165 mph and gusts of 200 mph. The eye of the storm is just north of the Mexico-Belize border, passing south of the resort areas of Cancun, Cozumel, and the Riviera Maya. These resort areas were spared the brunt of the storm but may see beach erosion and other damage from powerful waves.
