Jimena Live Report
We are located on the Pacific Ocean just below Todos Santos.
Winds are basically non-existent right now. The waves are not large, but they are a little more forceful. 1 surfer in the water. Cloudy.
Now, here's a question: do you think this will survive the storm? It will be tied down shortly. It is the Palapa and bar area at the main pool. Edited
to say: I just took this picture.

What a beautiful place! A lot of those with only one support have pulled up and move a hundred feet or so and landed on their tops. Maybe tying it
down will help. I guess it all depends on the winds. Good Luck!

the Palapa
Kathy,
I doubt that tying that palapa down will make a difference.
It will be airborne when Jimena hits.
I think that Roger will be more concerned about your well being than something replaceable.
Cuidate!

Good Morning HaciendaCerritos,
I don't have an answer to your question but if it were easy enough I would try to take the palapa on the pole inside. Keep us updated and be safe.
Thanks for info on 5/8 plywood. Husband just got up and he isn't sure what he can do at this point so not sure he will be flying down. Caretaker there
may attempt to put up some plywood and he's moved everything out of the way....except of course the casa.

Edit: Very beautiful view you have and the owner is lucky to have someone as responsible as you there.

Thanks everyone, I'll keep an update going as long as this Telcel 3G stays available. We're watching the storm closely.
Loretena: You are 100% right, but I am concerned about the palapa and of course everything else, including the villas on the beach. We're pushing to
get finished and then hurry-up and wait begins.
Good luck to all.

Do stay safe---far more important than photos or palapas, but I do understand your concern for the villas and palapas----I hope it all comes through
just a little wind blown---no real damage.

wow...I want one of those! What we did with our 1 pole palapa is put a big fishing net over it and we ran lines over it and tied them onto BIG rocks
to hold it down...but that was just a tropical storm...sorry but I doubt your after picture will look like this lovely one...just stay out of the way
of the flying palapa is the best bet....good luck and hang on.
Thank you for your live report...we will all be staying tuned here.

Not that it matters today but, when you rebuild your palapa, use nuts and bolts, keeping mind taking it down in these events.

Jimena Road Report
This chubasco is going to cause some damage that may influence Nomads' decisions on visiting soon after the event. Perhaps those of you with local
knowledge and experience can give "man-on-the-street" reports as to the condition of the highway and access roads.
As always the arroyos and vados are probably going to be a mess... but your on-site reports may be very useful to Nomads planning imminent trips down
the pennisula. I was going to head down to Los Barriles next Saturday... but will anxiously await the road reports.
Good luck to everyone and I really hope there is a good outcome to this event!!!!!

Agree OldJack, this would be helpful. Have plans to cross early Friday morning, however, except for a miracle I don't see this happening. Any reports
very much appreciated though. Hang tough folks, sending good thoughts/karma your way.

Once Jimena hits, I hope this thread along with the other storm reports will be continually on the top---really important.
While we have arrangements to have our place boarded if Jimena hits, we will want to get down there as soon as possible after the storm.
Keeping positive thoughts for all.

Yeah really nice place! At their website, http://www.haciendacerritos.com/index.htm you can see the pool & palapa out on the point. Pretty exposed, can't imagine there will not be
damage.

we are with the Proteccion Civil squad and so will be in radio contact with the outside for road conditions and will report as long as their is power.
It will be interesting to see how all the new bridges hold up...or not....and our brand new pavement....hmmm.
