Pretty warm, lots of rain. Flying ants crawling all over my screen as this is written. No Chubascos in sight as yet.

Update on weather---Tropical storm 9E is about 100 miles south as this is written. Seems to have us bore sighted. Expect it to hit the cape around
midnite or a little later. Sustained winds around 35 mph at present. Expeted rainfall 3 to 6" . It could upgrade to hurricane force... Get out the
lanterns and check the flashlights.

I think the vacas will be happy in a few days with tender new greens to eat though, s

I'm having a little trouble with the weather chanel here. They keep talking about Santa Fe? After 50 years hanging around this region, I don't know of
a Santa Fe, Baja California. Could one of you nerds who is a little more apt with these danged computers please inform those folks that they are
talking about a place over in New Mexico or a restaurant on the main street in Todos Santos. By this is showing up in the U.S. Gummit reports... Who's
copying who?

Hey, I couldn't figure out where that was either!
So, Jimmy, what is the weather like right now?

Hi Jimmy,
There is a Santa Fe on page 49 V3 in New Baja Almanac or Page 24 V3 BajaSur Almanac
Looks to be ranch inland from Estero Salado North of Punta Conejo where you watched the Baja 1000 at. Improved road off Hiway 1 just before Las
Pocitas. 20miles North from turn off to Conejo.
Hope you are doing alright !

11;30 A.M. winds not too bad yet in Los Barriles. About 3" rain in my guage. Waves in front of Palmas about 12'. Expect the worst to hit between 2 and
5 pm.
Phone and electrics still operating. CFE trucks patroling, looking for trouble. God bless 'em.

Hey Akbear!
Hurricane Lisa is here to celebrate Ignatz with us. Just came over with some drop bisketts and a whole bowl of fruit including Papaya and Mango. Lisa
wants to know when you're coming down to help us clean up this mess? P.S. bring some reindeer sauceage when you come.

The eye of Ignatz has passed over Los Barriles (900 P.M.) The wind has reversed and is now coming out the south. Taking the roof off Mini Super Playas
del Tesora
(Lupe's Changarro) This storm is one of the dryest chubascos I have seen not more than 4 inches of rain to the moment.
Hopefully it will have moved out by daylight tomorrow. Electrics and phones hanging in real good in spite of 100+ MPH winds.
