We are so sorry to hear about goings on down there. Has anyone heard from Calamity Jayne, Gene Lee, Peter, Rick Barber or Bonnie and Gary? We are
going to try to come down with supplies as soon as the road is passable. Can someone there please let us know what is most needed? You can reach us
via email at pelicanreefbaja@hotmail.com or call us at (864)494-3420. If anyone wants to try to convoy down let us know.
Any info on anyone in Mulege would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Val and Pierce

What is needed
I spoke to my mom and dad (Tom and Patti Higginbotham) today via Marv's satellite. They desperately need nonperishable food, fresh water, SHOES (teva
style sandals best) because many people have nothing, clothes, and something to cook on. I will let you know when I hear more.
Jim, if you read this, I sent an e-mail telling them to use everything in your sheds, etc.
I will send an e-mail about Herman and Tanya. I did not hear anything from my parents about them, so I can almost guarantee they are fine.

from every ware and with out power water and phone service. the stores have very little food and no drinking water. it looks like it is going to be a
cople of weeks befor anything changes so it is going to be real tough on a lot of peple here. every form of help is needed sence bouth the hospital
and clinc were flooded. we compleetly lost 2 schools including the new high school. als many business and hundereds of homes. the ones tha are left
sufered servire damege,also it took out all of the city water wells so it will be a very long time for them to get us water again. many of us are
staying in the kindergarden . I hope every one will excuse my spelling I am very tired and dont have spell check here. so far ther have only been a
few deaths confermend but rummers are runing ramped. I will not be abel to respond to this untill they have restored phones and electricty in Mulege.

Bruce,
We are so glad to hear that you and your family are safe. We are trying to organize a caravan or relief effort by air from the states. Please let
everyone know that we are praying for them and they are not forgotten up here. When we can figure out a way to get help there, it will be on the way.

Hi all
I have a place across the river from the Orchard next to Huerta Don Chano. Is there any word on how it fared over there? Does anyone know how Manuel
and Alisha and family are? If possible, tell Manuel to use our house and whatever he needs-if we have anything left.
I have some pictures of the Orchard and will post them if I can figure out how.

Bruce glad to hear that you are ok. Hope that help comes to you all in Mulege soon. If I let you know, can you pick up a package or two from the bus
station when the road is open again.
Here is a photo of the men in our village helping CFE stand a power pole upright....man power for sure. Within 6 hours we had power again.
These tragedies always bring communities closer and I am sure that will be the case in Mulege.

Relief flights
The Baja Bush Pilots are in contact with Mexico City in an effort to determine what strips are open as well as what is needed. Mexico City has very
little knowledge regarding the needs.
On our site we have posted the need for aircraft to do relief work. We have several aircraft as well as one helicopter that have indicated that they
can fly supplies into mid-Baja. There will be more once we know more information. The hope is that supplies can be picked up on mainland Mexico (not
from the US) and flown in so that the flights are short. Regarding the helicopter, we would want to take supplies to a strip close to the need where
a transfer can be made and taken on in.
We need information as to what is specifically needed and where the supplies are available before we call for pilots.
Please e-mail me at jack@bajabushpilots.com if you have specific information.

Got a U2U from Bruce and the news wasn't good about my place. Im sure I'm just one of many. I'll be heading down as soon as the doctor clears me which
hopefully will be at the end of this week. Let me know if there's anything specific anyone needs other than water beans etc. Feeling a little
depressed right now so doing anything would help. Thanks Bruce and please get some sleep mi amigo.

I want to echo Lenchos comment, I cannot stress the importance of mosquito netting, bug spray/lotion, water filtration kits and chlorine enough. I
know the others are important also but the spread of disease is very real and very dangerous. As soon as there is a place to collect these items and
get them in the hands of folks heading down from stateside please let us know so we can send care packages.
I don't have much to report anymore....it is evident that there is a real crisis in Mulege. The cape got pounded but from what I am hearing it is
obvious that the priority should be mulege. there is a lot of support from close by areas that fared well around the cape to help those locally.
We need to get help quickly to the north.

Relief group in San Diego forming
Hi, I'm new here and glad I found you. I am trying to get some people and supplies together to bring supplies down to Baja. You can read my postings
on Craigslist.com/san diego/community/ volunteers. I've only gotten a small response and no one showed up to my meeting tonight but I'm still trying.
Any Idea about when the roads will be passable from San Diego and also where the help is needed most. I'd like to focus on the poor working people
in the ejidos (sp.?) but I'll help anyone. I have someone with a 4x4 truck willing to deliver, and a couple others to collect supplies. Thanks in
advance for any replies. I have read the threads so no need to repeat that info. Thanks and be safe.

Johnny,
Right now Mulege is in crisis and needs immediate help. Don't know about ejedos. It is impossible for them to report as of yet.
For your efforts....Bless you! It seems the media is not aware of the devestation in Mulege. Perhaps if you could get The San Diego Union involved
other news services would pick it up. I think that would also generate more interest in your efforts.

BajaBob,
Roy left about two days before the storm, he & Dede are in CA. He left his truck and a lot of stuff where he was staying in the Orchard, but he's
really anxious for someone to check his place at Narojos as he never closed it up properly cause he was only going for two weeks. He'll be heading
down soon.
He's also wondering about the condition of the church.
Peter

I have a 28 ft travel trailer i could load up but not sure what is needed. Probably water, & food. Perhaps a group could organize a trip down with
supplies.

Drivers wait to continue their way after a mudslide blocked the road to La Paz following the passage of Hurricane John, 2 September. Hurricane John
and the floods it spawned over the weekend killed four people, including an American, and left two people missing, Mexican authorities in Baja

At least three killed in Mexico by Hurricane John
http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/N04299509.htm
05 Sep 2006 03:48:58 GMT
LA PAZ, Mexico, Sept 4 (Reuters) - At least three people, including one Briton, were killed when Hurricane John slammed into Mexico's Baja California
peninsula, authorities said on Monday.
Three other people are missing after the passage of John, which has been downgraded to a tropical depression, and is now off the west coast of Baja
California state and dumping rains on southern U.S. States. But the storm is no longer a major threat.
A British tourist was found drowned on the west coast of Baja California Sur state after his camper trailer was dragged away by a flooding river, the
state government said.
The two other dead were Mexicans who also drowned when they were swept away by swollen rivers in separate accidents.
Originally, the civil protection rescue agency said that no one was killed in Baja California Sur state by the storm. But the fatalities came to light
in remote regions to the north of the state capital La Paz.
Hurricane John blasted the tourist port city of La Paz late Friday and over the weekend with wicked winds and torrential rain that knocked out power
and flooded streets.
The storm flattened trees and up to 40 electric power poles and sent advertising signs flying in city and about 4,000 people living in low-lying areas
of La Paz were moved to shelters.
It also sent tourists fleeing in the elegant seaside resort of Los Cabos, further to the west on the tip of the Baja peninsula, which extends about
680 miles (1,100 km) south from the U.S. border.
Hundreds of vacationers, mainly from the United States, took flights home early and others holed up in hotel shelters as the storm threatened to hit
the resort head on.
But it veered away from Los Cabos just before making landfall, and only flooded roads as muddy rainwater and debris from surrounding hills poured down
unpaved streets.
