While Mexico lies in wait for Dean, the category five behemoth hurricane, Peru is still reeling from last week’s 7.9 earthquake which left over 400 people dead.

For the latest hurricane coverage, don’t come here, (especially if you live in the Yucatan), but we will update you come mo’ning. Good luck, Mexico.
