San Diego news guy says this is the most rain since 2010. A few tree branches fell, at least 1 power line down, etc. In TJ they are pumping water out of the basements. Glad I have wool socks.

5 am in Bahia Asuncion - several hours of high winds, a few bolts of thunder/lightning, and heavy rain started about an hour ago. The co-op had all of their pangas up the beach by this afternoon; they weren't taking any chances.

7am We are getting showers now but nothing heavy. The clouds are really threatening. Wind from the South which is strange considering that the storm's from the North. No walkers on the beach....yet.

7:30 in Bahia de los Angeles, wind hit about 3am, rain shortly after that. The wind died down about 6am but still raining lightly although the clouds have lifted to about 4000 ft as I can now see the top of Mike's Mt. About 1/2 inch of water in the bucket I set out last night.

In our part of ensenada, we got 3+" of rain. The wind blew up to 84 MPH on my wind gauge.
The power went on and off several times then went off for about 3 hours.

In Pescadero, partly cloudy, E. wind at 5-10 knots, forecast for P.M. rain/drizzle, air 65-70, whitecaps on water. No big deal. Rain would be nice but don't think it'll happen.

Not quite 2"
That is a year's worth of rain for most of that region!
