Punta Chivato & Odile
Hope I can start this thread before we loose banda ancha. Having troubles with Photo bucket connection
I was able to step out and take these photos between showers. No rain right now but wind average is 20 in the last 10 min. Got the mop, towels,
buckets and floor squidgy ready. Got the doos and window open but am on point to get'm closed fast.

Rain has stopped but I still don't plan to go into town for supplies. It would only take one good down pour to close the road in if it isn't already.
Be safe out there!

Watching the Mulege webcam this morning,, looks like a lot of fast moving clouds and not a lot of rain yet.. the valley is green and not high water
at this time..
will be interesting to see how much water the new big holes west of town hold before they overflow... or maybe its only one big hole...
wind seems to be a major factor in this one..
keep your anchor attached Russ...

just talked with our worker bee, adan, via skype and his cell phone....quite a gush of rain this morning earlier and now the wind is starting...the
river hasn't risen an inch.....yet....this time the entire town has moved EVERYTHING to high ground....in conversation with jim christopher day before
yesterday he said the huge "containment pit" has been built to just about the bridge now....that is one huge, and i mean HUGE hole if that's
correct...crossing our fingers

I'm seeing a change in storm track. Right up the mountains which hasn't happened that I'm aware of. So SOC folks prepare to have it cross. I think it
is now a tropical storm but if it hits warm SOC water it could strengthen. Maybe it'll run up Mx 1 
As you can see in the last image there is another storm right behind Odile. Hope it goes away... far far away

Jeeze, I missed this. Looks as though there is a 50% chance of another hurricane developing within the next 48 hours
Keep in mind these comments are really from a practicing weather idiot

Only light rain now so I went out to see the beach. Pretty much high tide now but I think it's on the down swing. Waves are breaking 50 yards off
shore and building. Hasn't broken down the berm in front of my place but else where along the beach it may have. Excuse the rain drops on the photos
please 
Oh, Thanks to Meany! He's waiting this out in Guerro Negro and added time to my banda ancha.

Way to go Meany!!!! Russ, I thought the storm looked like it was going to jump the SOC earlier than forecasted too. Hang on it looks like you're
going to take a hit no matter what.

The road is pretty nasty, but still passable. A little more rain and it will go down for sure. We made it back to San Bruno OK

Glad you got home safely.
Rain has picked up as well as the wind. Still only the storm side door is leaking a little. The window I look out of at the computer is dry???? This
storm is hitting at a weird angle. Something is blocking the wind-o-meter because it is much stronger that it's showing. See the leaning hummingbird
feeder. My guess is it's around 25mph with stronger gusts. I think the rain-o gauge is light too.
What is this guy doing out in the storm?

Hang in there Russ. You're in for a wild ride. You maybe should have headed for higher ground. Been thru quite a few hurricanes growing up and living
on the MS gulf coast. The storm surge is the killer. A 12' storm surge will have 6' waves on top of it. They have blue lines on some of the telephone
poles in Biloxi marking Katrina's high water mark, they're about 18' high.

Raining and winding pretty good now. The storm side garage door is allowing water in underneath it but it's just the garage. The generator faces the
storm and it didn't like being out side while I brewed a pot of coffee and it is not working. Hopefully it just omly needs to dry out cuz the
batteries won't last the night without a charge. I'll use the range top coffee pot next batch.

Just ran outside. Water still far from the boat house doors. We are doing much better than Mulege. So far anyway.
The tide line you see with all the junk is from last year. Still most of the shell berm is in tact today so I'm not too worried unless this one stalls
over us at high tide. .98" in my rain-o-gage now. I think that is about a third of the actual rain.
