http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/4373190.stmA Scots holidaymaker stranded in Mexico has been describing the chaos caused by Hurricane Wilma after it battered the country.
Thousands of tourists were evacuated from their hotels as 150mph winds ripped through coastal resorts.
Neil Meldrum, from Blair Atholl, said conditions at his shelter near Cancun were terrible.
He told BBC Radio Scotland he was sheltering in a private school which had no roof.
Further on in the article, it reports 6 deaths, and thousands of homes being destroyed. I hope Mexicopat is ok. This is regarding Cancun in general, though.
