Hurricane DEAN: Chetumal, Mexico

On 21 August 2007, Category 5 Hurricane Dean—one of the century’s fiercest storms—made landfall on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula.

As this Caribbean monster approached Quintana Roo’s small capital city, catastrophe seemed certain. A last-second wobble in the track spared the city complete destruction. But Dean hammered Chetumal hard as the storm’s extreme inner core passed just north of the city at dawn.

iCyclone was there—holed up in a downtown hotel with forty refugees—documenting events as this old Mexican city withstood Dean’s ferocious onslaught.
