Floods have ravaged the states of Puebla, Tabasco and Veracruz, and travel to these regions should be deferred. Secondary roads are unsafe here and also in the states of Chiapas, Hidalgo, Jalisco, Michoacan and Oaxaca. In Villahermosa, the capital of Tabasco state, angry residents clashed with police Oct. 11 over complaints that the government was promising help but doing little. Much of the city has been under water for a week.

A plan to require a deposit from owners of U.S.-registered cars entering Mexico was revised and will now go into effect Dec. 1 instead of Nov. 1. The deposit can be left on a credit card rather than the original plan to take cash only, and can be refunded at any border crossing. The rate is $800 for 1999-2000 models, $600 for 1995-1998, and $400 for 1994 and older. The deposit is an attempt to prevent U.S. cars from being sold illegally in Mexico.

Hurricane Juliette ravaged the tip of Baja California the last week of September, washing away bridges, highways and hundreds of homes. Power and water service were knocked out in Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo but most luxury resorts suffered only minor damage and cleanup is proceeding. The 18 inches of rain over four days equaled the rain expected over four complete rainy seasons.
