Hurricane Grace is pelting Mexico’s Caribbean coast with heavy rain and strong winds, threatening to keep tourists off the white sand beaches until it crosses the Yucatan Peninsula.
Tourists enjoy the beach before the arrival of Hurricane Grace, in Cancun, Quintana Roo State, Mexico, Wednesday, Aug. 18, 2021. Residents and tourists along the Caribbean coast began making preparations for Grace, a storm that drenched Haiti and Jamaica and is now forecast to hit Mexico´s Yucatan peninsula like a hurricane early Thursday morning.
Quintana Roo state opened shelters and evacuated some hotels and residents ahead of the storm’s arrival. Popular cruise ship destination Cozumel and hip Tulum were in the storm’s path. With little to stand in its way on the peninsula, Grace was expected to weaken slightly then regain hurricane strength in the Gulf of Mexico before making a second landfall in Mexico later this week.
On Tulum’s main drag, tourists in plastic ponchos splashed through puddles as the wind picked up. On the beach side, the surf grew and beachgoers took shelter from the blowing sand.Businesses began taping and boarding up windows and lines formed at grocery stores as families stocked up on essentials.
Johanna Geys, of Munich, Germany, was having a beer in Tulum Wednesday afternoon. It was her first time in Mexico and Grace would be her first hurricane.
