Unlike the rapid damage estimates produced for hurricanes hitting the U.S., projections for the impact on Mexico where Hurricane Emily struck the Yucatan Peninsula Monday are lagging, and modelers have yet to guess the insured loss.
By Monday afternoon, a report said the resort island of Cozumel and the resort town of Cancun had suffered little damage other than debris and power outages after Hurricane Emily struck.
The National Weather Service (NWS) said Emily struck the eastern shore of the Yucatan as a Category 4 hurricane on the five-point Saffir-Simpson scale, with sustained winds of 135 mph some time around 2 a.m. Monday.
