Any news about Bahia de Los Angeles?
Several people have emailed me asking about the bay. I don't know what's going on and there hasn't been any response from those people that are there.
I was told the storm should drop 8 to 12 inches of rain. I don't think the town can handle that much water.

It probably won't be there for another 18-24 hours, Bedman. As in, noon-ish on the 16th before the biggest part of it..... just guessing on this
end.... good luck.
I don't have a BUCKET LIST, but I do have a F***- IT LIST a mile long!

Looks like it is going to be a good test for the new road and the bridges across the washes... and a real test for the old road between San Felipe and
Puertecitos.
Hope all stay safe...if anything close to these rainfall predictions there will be some serious flash floods...not pretty.

Heard from my friend Mando who said he had heard from two other friends @0900 today saying they had left BOLA at 0330 and it was blowing like a MOFO
and raining. They returned via hwy 5 and gave no news of the roads or weather in that area.

Power in town was out last night from 11 to 6 this morn, but no word on damage yet. I'll try to learn more. Hope the south bay isn't washed away.

Bahia de Los Angeles - Odile update 9/16
I have info to pass on from Abraham. He is not there, just left yesterday. He communicated with two people in town via satellite phone/internet hooked
up to generator power.
6:30pm - Rain has stopped, winds are slowing down. There is no access to town right now. The town is cut off. The main arroyo flooded (going to the
dump), a few cars got taken away trying to cross.
No injuries, no fatalities.
Some houses north of town had to be evacuated. A river came down close to Daggetts.
Houses in town were flooded. Rayna's restaurant filled with water, waist deep.
There is no electricity, 30 posts are supposed to be down due to wind, "No electricity for a while. No refrigerators in town, no water makers.
Depending on the access, it could get unpleasant. Lot's of people are worried."
He stated that the rain gauge in Gonzaga Bay, Punta Final is showing 20" already.
There are no propane fridges left in town, so that is not an option.
Sailboats went to Don Juan.
No news from the south end of the bay.
I will update this post if I hear anymore info. Dern is going to try to talk to some folks via hamster talk tonight.

I just got a short message from Guillermo Galvan Jr. and he said that he heard that the the houses north of town are the ones that got hit more.

Just got an update. This was just posted on Facebook by Dern... "Been talking with Doc. He just got off the phone with Guillermos wife. (She has the
generator going and Sat phone). Lots of rain. The town is stranded. The big arroyo just north of town is a rager. They had to evacuate folks from the
north end of the bay. Some structural damage here and there. Some major flooding of some homes .No power, phone, internet etc. Some thirty power poles
are down. So I'd imagine no power for a while. The rain has stopped now and the wind is slowing down. Docs waiting for some intel of the south bay."
