Several beach/resort cities in Mexico, such as Barra de Navidad are bracing themselves and preparing their communities to expect the worst from
Hurricane Jova. In this particular article, it discusses the different routes of preparedness and safety precautions different people are taking. Residents and tourists alike were advised to head inland, as Jova is predicted to collide with "
tourist resorts and flood-prone mountain villages." While some immediately headed for shelter in cities like Jaluco, several decided to try and ride it out. Most residents in this region are migrant farmworkers and understood they must seek shelter elsewhere, as their houses were not sturdy enough to withstand such weather and protect their families. However, some tourists decided to stay, saying they have been through comparable weather in the past.
The hurricane is said to have maximum sustained winds up to
100 mph, and is predicted to Barra de Navidad and Puerto Vallarta around
midnight this evening.
