Based on the 5 o' clock advisory, it is clear the entire Yucatan peninsula including Belize will be struck. This involves an enormous amount of lodges- Blue Horizon, Tarpon Caye, Turneffe Flats, Belize River Lodge, Xcalak, Palometa, Playa Blanca, and Casa Blanca, to name a few. The list is huge and goes on and on, maybe as far north as Isla Holbox.
As the storm passes, FlatsFishingOnline will attempt communications to ascertain the post-storm status of this region, particularly all of the fishing lodges and the fine people who have worked so hard to bring flats magic into our lives. May they fare well !
It is 5 a.m. and the eyewall of Dean has made landfall close to Costa de Cocos north of Chetumal. This midpoint landing should feature very high inshore winds flooding Ascension and Bahia Espiritu Santu Bays and a massive north-northwest offshore wind flushing out Chetumal Bay. It appears the northern lodges of Belize around Ambergris will feel the wrath of this storm.
