We used grills, batteries, candles, fruit cups , can meats, case bottle water, bread, soda, flash lights, charcoal, crackers, chips. Meds like aspirin.

This hurricane is so unpredictable that every time we check the trajectory and the strength of it, it changes. Nevertheless, I will be watching your videos throughout the hurricane. I love your videos, always truthful and fun to watch.
I lived on the Atlantic coast of Florida for 40 years. I literally can’t tell you how many hurricanes I’ve been through. In the dozens I’m sure. Whatever you even think you might need to do, do it. Sometimes you get sick of all the work and money that gets spent. But,if you ever get a doozy like Andrew(our roof came off it the kitchen/garage side of the house) you’ll be sooo glad you did. No one gets to you fast. It’s all neighbors helping neighbors. Go on line and look at the Florida hurricane checklist. Be safe with all your girls!! And puppy too!!❤️
Good recommendations! Looks like it will be just a Ton of rain by the time it gets to Yucatan. Off topic: sleeping in a hammock is much cooler than a mattress in summertime--why many rentals have hammock hooks in the bedrooms. I remember touring my Maya landlord's home, he had a huge antique bed ...& a hammock(!) in his bedroom & he explained to me. Cotton ones for inside, synthetic for outside. Good priced hammocks at where they make them in Tizimin.
Be safe! I’ve lived through 3! Sandy gave me some flooding , No damage from Michael and Irma tore a whole lot of my stuff up 😂. I was terrified with Irma. I could feel my roof being pulled up and a suction feeling. Lots of clean up and repair but I survived. Be safe and be prepared! Don’t forget to put your important documents in a ziplock and all together. Passports etc, also have cash $$ in case power is out.
I’ve lived through 2 hurricanes and a flood… sometimes your water may be shut off (facet water) so make sure you fill your bathtub (if you actually have one in Mexico) or as many containers as you can, with water for bathing. If you have a pool, the water will be dirty with debris from the hurricane, but you can still use that water the flush your toilet, just make sure you take the debris out. Also, have duct tape, you’ll need it to tape your windows if you don’t have ply wood or shutters. Tape large X’s (at least) across the windows so if they break it can help keep the glass somewhat together rather than flying around your house from the hurricane winds.
As a Floridan(by way of of Chicago) who hopes to move there, I would say take every precaution!!! Act as if a cat 5 is headed your way!!! It’s better to have it and don’t need it, then to need it and don’t have it!!! Generator, water, food, all of it!!!
Very valuable information at this very unpredictable time. It is better to be prepared. I will even get a puzzle out that I had not thought about. I wish you and your family the best and hope the cold clears up for you soon. Peace.

@@malikahonthemove hi Malika, my daughter and I lived through one or both also. My daughter and I lived in Miami from time to time she was in elementary school until 3 years ago when she and I moved here. Those names of hurricanes sound familiar I am sure yes we were there🤔My daughter and I will be in Merida next year. I pray you will still be there. I would like to meet you and allow the others. God is manifesting our blessings and it is grand. I can’t divulge anything else. I will see all of you next year 🙏🥰thank God night 😊
My daughter and I were blessed to live through 2 hurricanes; Remember hurricane Hugo, it was as so much damage that our electric company was going by zones. It took our lights 2 months. People was working together
The thing of the mindset “and you’re still going to stay there?” Is not necessarily a one place is better to deal with it in vs another given these weather related events are impactful in the US all the same, are people moving out of Florida, New Orleans, Houston en masse? No, sure some will move away but you go to the Midwest you’re gonna deal with tornado weather just as devastating or winter storms just as devastating lol no place on earth has fool proof climate indefinitely or every year. Best to prepare and not be caught under prepared and then mad cause the power went down or city infrastructure is overwhelmed due to a category four hurricane which they likely don’t routinely even get that often to begin with
You guys will be OK, Beryl is diminishing. All the more reason to live on the 2nd floor or in a high rise a good distance from the coast. You gotta have a land, tree or building barrier/buffer. Consider solar or wind powered generators in the future. Gas & propane generators won't work if the lines are long or when they run out of fuels/gas. 🤔🙈
Good video but I will tell you that electric bill is for every 2 months not every month. The information on things to do in order to prepare for this emergency had been very helpful.
Don't make the extra expense, especially in Mexico. Their charcoal lighter fluid has chemicals from the ethelyne family that spontaneously ignite with a flame, just as quickly as gasoline. Plus, avoid that charcoal fluid or gasoline flavor/residue on your BBQ meats, japs, onions, Roma tomatoes you throw on the grill.😋🥩🤔 Be safe, make a cone using kitchen paper towels, fold the bottom to keep the oil from coming out. Pour any kitchen cooking oil over the charcoal. One or two circles will do. Then fill the cone half way or less with the oil. Ignite the topmost part of the paper towel cone you buried in the middle, center, of the charcoals on your grill. Be patient and watch all the charcoal start to burn as the flame spreads out.

Oh yeah, have CASH on hand. No power, no cards! Also put all your important documents in a ziplock bag, passports included and have them all in a backpack just in case.
Well that hurricane just tore through the island of Carriacou and decimated it. I’m in Palm Springs and last year we had a hurricane downgraded to a tropical storm come through here last August. We’re still dealing with infrastructure damages from that and they’re calling it a 1000 year event. Never underestimate these things. We are now in the time climate scientists have been warning us about since the 1960’s. It’s here
In times such as the most important thing is to pray without ceasing and let God know you have faith in Him. We all worked together businesses, families, hospitals etc. so that no one had to come out of their for money they never had.
Use wisdom as this dangerous hurricane approaches. After experiencing the flooding from just a rain storm, if it’s coming Cat 4, please reconsider staying in your home. I’m not saying leave Merida, but for your family’s safety, a temp location may make the difference. Psalm 91 🙏🏽
In mexico social media, its been a tendency that Chaac the mayan god of rain is upset because they put a statue of poseidon in Progreso, Yucatan... because the hurracane season is always in september/october, and this huracan is in early july... =/
Which type of generador or power ,do you think is needed to take care of 2 mini splits, a refrigerador and a few lights in the house. Also where in Mérida should we buy it? Which store? Home depot on Montejo? Can you recomend who installs these generadors in the house. We're in Chuburna within inside the city. Thank you for the tips.
I definitely disagree I'm sure it will not hurt those on social security but it's impact has affected those neighborhoods and communities that they are dropped off in and I'm pretty sure you don't see them much at all in yours. And for some reason I don't understand why you would think the immigrants only hold dangerous low-paying jobs. Those days are long gone they are not just picking your fruit and building your bridges the occupying your educational schools and institutions and hold some of the middle-class pain and high paying as well jobs also occupying governmental work sectors and are holding political seats. If you think that does not have a impact on Americans I do not know what to tell you. 🌄🦍☮️❤️
I guess people still don’t understand that Mexico with all the good things it has to offer it’s still a 3 rd world country and we have to prepare for things like things maybe Mexicans are used to those things but if you’re not make sure you do your research before moving abroad
Google indicates Mexico is NOT a third world country! It's classified by the World Bank as an upper, middle income country. No bluff, just the facts! 🤔🙈
Oh Cartess! I hope you and the family will be safe. I’m praying 🙏

i think you are right. probably not a big deal, but probably just a good idea to be ready for the next four or five months.

And batteries are a must for times like these, imo. Thanks for the video, Cartess. Stay safe.
be safe family , stay together keep us updated
Great video Cartess! I think you're spot on about implementing fixes instead of leaving. No need to make drastic moves when there are workarounds.

Charcoal, lighter fluid, and an outdoor grill may be helpful as an alternative method of food preparation. Stay safe!👍🏾
