I shudder to think of the sheer destruction that this hurricane could bring to a house like the one I was staying in, when the reality is it would completely erase the home and people who lived in the mud brick house. I sincerely home that the Mexican authorities are doing everything they can to aid such people, though I doubt it.

If they have the means and help to get away from the storm, something like that can be rebuilt fairly quickly. One of our houses on the other hand would take weeks and probably months.
