Hurricane Otis Damage in Southern Baja...
In light of the extensive damage caused by Hurricane Katrina, the near miss of Hurricane Otis on Southern Baja this weekend is a reminder that we are
prone to very destructive weather here as well.
The attached photo shows the damage caused to a home when Otis passed just off the coast of Todos Santos. It really makes you cherish what you have,
and reminds us not to take life for granted!!!

Looks like that plastic lawn chair caught hell. We have switched to the metal type just to be safe.

Bright and sunny in La Paz. So is appears that like that old song, "Mr. Otis regrets he's unable to arrive today, madam."

Otis Gone Awry
The latest forecast (Quija Board Guess ?) from NOAA no longer shows the remains of Otis crossing from the Pacific. It now looks like we won't even
get any rain from the system here in Northern Baja.
It is astounding how frequently WRONG that NOAA is with their forecasts. You have to wonder why the forecasts for the Atlantic can be so much better
than those in the Pacific.
Unfortunately, back in 97, the forecast for Nora was pretty close so we have to continue to pay attention to their guesses.
Oh well, another perfect day in Percebu. 69 degrees when I got up this a.m., although it's warming fast and will probably top out around 90 again.
Water temp around 86. Time to go back to watering plants since nature is not going to help out.

Weather harder to predict on west coast-----
I am sticking my neck out here, but I think that the reason that NOAA is not as accurate in the western Pacific on aberations like Hurricanes is
because of the prevailing winds, the variety of weather systems effecting things, and mainly the lack of weather stations out in the wide Pacific
Ocean.
They do their best with what they have to work with-----.
Just my half-learned observations, and memory of what I have been taught in my long-ago College days, and as a pilot.

Yep Marv
I'm glad you said something. I waited for the picture to download.
I understand that Hermosillo got a bunch of rain this weekend.
