Sittin on high ground out here at the beach in Pescadero. Arroyo Grande may flood as in 2002 Julietta closed the hwy. For us, Two miles back to Hwy 19 passes a few flows or rioletas and mud bogs. Biggest problem is up on hwy if/need to go anywhere?! We're ready for two days/ week or more. Odile has schooled most in our area! If we lose power I hope it's not for long. Most have genies! The locals are the ones that suffer but have been thru many storms before. Thinkin positive. Tio

Eebmike has been reliable so far. They all use the same source. For Saturday I would not look at Windy, or any other site - until at least Wed-Thu.

"All" must have solar, in addition to genie. Works under heavy clouds too, just not as good. Enough to run a small fridge and lights.

I'm curious - what "ready" means and how it would help, other than packing couple of boxes of supplies to run away, leaving everything behind. That is, - if road conditions will let you go. After the Odille many people were stranded, and being stranded on the road can be worse than at home.

This site looks cool but not sure if it's a proven commodity. I'm relying on my tried and true along with seasoned veterans on the ground.

Windy predicts no rain until Thursday morning. Then - moderate 3mm rain until Friday. Then it gets a lot worse on Saturday, but this is 4 days out, so the accuracy is,.... accordingly.

Hmmm...this storm is a real trickster capable of anything...this is from this mornings forecast....

"It should be noted that since there is
considerable spread in the model guidance, this official track
forecast has greater-than-usual uncertainty."

What we do know is there will be alot of rain and flooding everywhere in Baja Sur....although it is possible we still get none...because what happens is although the models say it will go west....it gets sucked over to the gulf by the warmer water leaving our little heel of land out of the rain....still not ready to bet we get none but it wouldnt surprise me.....we are preparing anyway.

I am going to start a new storm thread so we can begin to get onsite reports. I heard there was rain yesterday down south so the ground will already be wet which is bad as the ground wont absorb water and it will runoff wildly....remember NEVER CROSS A ROAD WITH WATER RUNNING OVER IT!

THIS is a storm thread already, Shari :)

Accuracy... Some are concerned more about wind, I'm worried more about flood. Numbers are important. 3mm/day of rain is nothing, 30 mm may cause flood (and will, if it lasts for more than a day). So far it looks like it will turn to the West on Saturday at BOLA-Asuncion line. Asuncion will get more wind, BOLA - heavy rain up to 20mm, and then it will end.
Can still change.
