Re:Puerto Vallarta, Kenna, & Costa Vida
actually the Hurricane skirted Puerto Vallarta, the pics are of the storm surge we hear so much of but never really see any pics of.
Top that off with the rain.

Your pics are great, thanks for sharing them with us. I really enjoyed them. Scary...
Re:Puerto Vallarta, Kenna, & Costa Vida
I lived on Basilio Badillo at the time Hurricane Kenna (or the edge of Kenna) came by Vallarta and we only received a little over an inch of rain in the south side area... in fact, I stood outside for most of it (talking to neighbors) it was not until I went towards the beach did I see the damage. As far as wind went, there were some pretty good gusts, but nothing monumental....we only lost a few big tree branches in the area, and some roof tiles...nothing like I was expecting. San Blas, where the hurricane came to shore was devistated, but came back to life rather quickly, minus the giant ficus treee in town,
All in all, we were very lucky!
