Nomads:
The Tract of this Storm reminds me of Hurricane Lisa in 76{?}
Many many People were washed down the Arroyo when the Resevior bust in La Paz.
I was in Loreto setting in a MotorHome with Tio Don. We had placed Lines around the Palapa Roof and tied them to the Ground with Stakes.
The Arroyo ran many Days after washing out 80,000 Tons of Gravel/Sand created the Sand Spit just South of Hotel Oasis.
WE found Coral Sankes, a Donkey still tied to a Post that came down from San Javier. The Debris piled up on the Beach about Three Feet, and extented
out from the Shore 7 Miles .
I would also suggest to the people in Loreto to get prepared for Much Water and winds to at least 85 MPH if this Storm contuines on this Track.
The people of MiraMar should really be concerned as several years Past the two Arroyos were put together and directed toward th Space where the New
Salbot Marina is to be Constructed.
Be Aware!

Jerry, after seeing the various posts on breakwall and marina construction, would you live below a dam in Mexico? 
There are some small ones on a tributary to the arroyo above Loreto, either a big storm, or just the passing of a few years, will probably take them
out.
Well, let's let Loreto Bay figure it out.

I've been tracking John all day on the web and it looks like it's going head on with Cabo! I've already started looking into altenative plans because
even if i hold off a few days, who knows what kind of devastation there will be. I'm peeed!! More importantly though, I'll keep all residents down
there in my prayers!!

I really hope the officials get the word out to folks living in canyons and low lying areas to get the heck out as this looks like a kickass
powerhouse with mucho muscle.

I haven't prayed since my daughter was born, and in my case may not be heard. I still intend to give it my best effort for all in Baja. I found out my
friends from Todos Santos are in the States. I am now very concerned for Bandit, Poncho, and Angel, their dogs and cat. I hope they call me back soon.

As you can see the latest from NOAA shows the eye going straight over the tip but time will tell. Hurricane watch from La Paz all around the tip way
around the same parallel to the Pacific. This thing looks to gain more intensity getting into deeper water with the surface temps above 80F.
Will surely give some prayers for all the inhabitants of the Baja tip....

John's wind...
This thing is blowing hard as well as dumping. Cabo better prepare for the worst as well as Los Barilles and all the other towns. Hope they have
warning.

By tomorrow morning we will definately know where this thing is heading, either west to cabo, center to los barriles, or into the sea of cortez and La
Paz. Bought sand bags today and filled the gas tank, lets hope it stays far away enough to avoid us some big troubles, if it hits us at category 4 its
going to nasty.

Jesse...I caught the tail end of a hurricane in Cabo in 85 and that monstrosity of a hotel between the Finisterra and Solmar wasn't there at the time
but if this thing hits right on it won't exist on the beach anymore!
This will devastate the harbor and unfortunately many businesses too. I'll surely hold the safety of the locals in thought. Cabo hasn't had a direct
hit from a Cat 4 in many anos....
Don\'t get mad...
Get EVEN.

Al
doubtful, If you want to read about some of the hurricanes we have had, just Google Juliette Sept 2001, and the last one Marty Sept 2003 that sunk
over 100 boats, Tore out the docks and Marina offices in Cabo, in La Paz tore out Marina La Paz, and the one next door. Picture worth a thousand
words.

On the above site just click on the hurricane for pictures. and hold on to your seat.

Buenos suerte a todo. Good luck to you all in John's path. I have seen the devastation caused by Marty, Ignacio, and Juliet. Let's hope it makes a
sudden turn out to the west.

Thanks Comitan, Not that I want to see destruction, but It is a real eye opener
Looks like about every 3 or so years there is a price to pay.
Really Sad for all.

Here is a bad picture that I took in Dec 1976 in front of Martin Verdugo's Trailer Park. This is wood that was washed out to sea during the hurricane
and then pounded up on the beach. It was about 100-200 feet wide and about 1 mile long and stacked up about 7 feet high. We had tremendous bon fires
that year-fun. I remember Martin telling us he was holding his kid/kids up in waist deep water around his house-kinda scary.
