The forecasted path and strength of Norma hasn't changed much since yesterday. Buckle up, amigos!

A light rain started about an hour ago. You could cut the humidity with a knife. My neighbors and I are putting up the hurricane shutters.
The GIANT surf is sure fun to watch. i'm glad I got a few yesterday morning before it exceeded my limit. We are ready to be without a road to town for
a few days since this looks like a big rain event.

There is, or was, one computer model from the last six hours that has it going "up the gut".
There is a somewhat morbid side of me that would love to see what a tropical disturbance would do if it headed up the Sea of Cortez for a few hundred
miles. Would the super warm water increase its intensity?
I really can't recall one doing that in the 40 or so years I have been following them. At least not for a few hundred miles.

Look out, Todos Santos! Looks like it may come onshore NW of the tip of BCS.

Current track calls for landfall this afternoon as a Category 2 storm. Friends of ours in Pescadero are hunkered down and hanging tight.

I collected 5 inches of rain in the bucket last night. This morning has only seen light rain. The wind is picking up now and the palms are wapping
around. I think more big rain is on the way. Already there is significant erosion on the dirt roads on the east cape.
Glad we have Starlink internet. Our neighbors' systems are down.
No b-tchin\' in the Baja.

The NE quadrant seems to be the wet part of Norma. I thought it had passed but the barometer dropped to 29.12 so maybe not yet.

I've got 2 buddies on motorcycles who are stuck in La Paz. They are wondering about the roads heading north to Constitucion. Any chance they could get
to Loreto?

Seasoned riders might suggest being stuck in LP, rather than at some Vado outside CC, is the better choice. Esp. on bikes.
I say stay put for a day or two or hear someone has driven the road.

Possible weather delays should always be considered for any Baja trip.
It pays to be able to wait out the weather when it happens. And why not?
Last Feb. on my return north from GN in San Quintin at the Mision de Santa Maria a moto rider I talked to had been delayed for hours on end at the
same spot I made it through hours earlier.
Timing can be everything when Mother Nature makes her calls. The lowest spot in the Valle de Cirios will flow.
Enjoying another day in place can always be put to good use.

A good representation of a system with a well-formed eye!
