On Vacation with Hurricane Dean
I mentioned yesterday that our boss was stuck in a hurricane. TOTN's Executive Producer, Sue Goodwin, left on vacation a week and a half ago with her family. Unfortunately, she picked the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico, and Hurricane Dean followed her there (she's safe, and doing some reporting now that Dean has moved on). Lucky for us, she also has a digital camera with her, and has been emailing us a first-hand look at Playa del Carmen, before and during Hurricane Dean.

Sue was heading inland to visit some of the areas hit hard by Dean overnight. She is still filing news spots for the network, and may be able to fill us in on some of what she's seen in a blog post tomorrow. Of course, she's still working to find a flight back home after this adventure.
Dean was a category 5 hurricane when it hit shore (since downgraded), but locally where she's staying, it hit with the force of a serious tropical storm. Thanks to Sue, and Chipp Jones for the photos and video. We'll post more as she sends them.
Here's another video of Hurricane Dean... this one facing inland.
