Account: I
Flew to Cancun Mexico on July 16th to get into position for
Hurricane Emily. I spent the entire day of July 17th scoping out
locations in the Cancun area as well as Tulum and Playa Del
Carmen. I found a great safe location in Playa Del Carmen and
decided to choose this as my location to be for Emily. The
entire hurricane made landfall at night and got really intense
and ferocious starting around 11:30pm lasting until 3:00am. This
hurricane had more cloud to cloud lightning in it than any other
I've seen. When the eyewall crossed my location the sky was
lighting up constantly. I even heard thunder on a few occasions.
I didn't film too much during the night as there wasn't much to
see in the pitch dark. At daybreak I surveyed the damage from Playa Del Carmen to
Tulum and the damage was extensive. |

| Special Thanks
to Jim Reed for keeping me updated on Emily's progress
during landfall. |
