Hurricanes in Queretaro??

Since last sunday, when we heard that a hurricane was coming toward Mexico, I heard lots of people say that we don't need to worry because hurricanes never come to QRO.
On tuesday, we got a call from an International Teams' supervisor in Costa Rica wondering if we were going to be okay here. Immediately after that, we got a call from North Point in Atlanta wanting two guys who were helping us out that day to go back to Atlanta (they stayed here). Wednesday, it rained all day, but not really very hard. I left the church at about 7pm though, and there were NO busses running. In fact, a lot of stuff had closed down for the evening. The hurricane was projected to hit wednesday at midnight. Schools and many jobs were cancelled for thursday. So we all hunkered down in our homes for the night. I even moved everything that could be ruined if wet off my floor and onto my desk, put towels under my window and by the doors of the house. (My window leaks lots of water if it rains and is really windy). I was pretty nervous about our "skylight" in the stairway that is corrugated plastic. But I went to be about 11pm, and it was just raining a little bit. I didn't wake up until 7am, and everything was fine! The ground had even started to dry from the rain the day before.
So, my first hurricane I guess wasn't exactly anything to worry about. But, hurricane season has just started...
