Latest from noaa

800 PM PDT FRI OCT 10 2008

SATELLITE IMAGES SHOW THAT NORBERT CONTINUES TO HAVE A WELL-DEFINED
EYE SURROUNDED BY COLD CLOUD-TOP TEMPERATURES IN THE EYEWALL.
RECENT MICROWAVE IMAGES NOW SHOW ONE DISTINCT EYEWALL SO THE
EYEWALL REPLACEMENT FROM YESTERDAY HAS BEEN COMPLETED. THERE HAVE
BEEN NO CHANGES TO THE SATELLITE CLASSIFICATIONS AND THE INITIAL
INTENSITY ESTIMATE WILL REMAIN 90 KT. THE CLOUD PATTERN IS A BIT
ELONGATED FROM NORTH TO SOUTH...HERALDING AN INCREASE IN SHEAR
SOON...BUT PROBABLY NOT SOON ENOUGH TO CAUSE NORBERT TO WEAKEN MUCH
BEFORE LANDFALL. A FASTER DECREASE IN STRENGTH SHOULD OCCUR
TOMORROW AFTER THE TROPICAL CYCLONE INTERACTS WITH LAND AND THE
SHEAR INCREASES MORE SIGNIFICANTLY. THIS WEAKENING MIGHT NOT BE
FAST ENOUGH TO BRING THE SYSTEM BELOW HURRICANE STRENGTH BEFORE
LANDFALL IN MAINLAND MEXICO...SO A HURRICANE WARNING HAS BEEN
ISSUED FOR THAT AREA. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST IS BASICALLY AN UPDATE
OF THE PREVIOUS FORECAST AND IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE LGEM
MODEL.

THE HURRICANE APPEARS TO HAVE TURNED TOWARD THE NORTH-NORTHEAST AND
ACCLERATED A BIT TO ABOUT 10 KT. A TURN TOWARDS THE NORTHEAST AND
INCREASE IN FORWARD SPEED SHOULD OCCUR TOMORROW DUE TO STEERING
FROM A DEEP-LAYERED TROUGH DIVING INTO THE SOUTHWESTERN UNITED
STATES. MODEL GUIDANCE IS GENERALLY IN GOOD AGREEMENT AND THE NHC
FORECAST IS NOT APPRECIABLY DIFFERENT FROM THE PREVIOUS ONE. AT
THE END OF THE FORECAST...THERE WON'T BE MUCH LEFT OF NORBERT BUT
THE THREAT FOR HEAVY RAINFALL...FLASH FLOODING AND MUDSLIDES COULD
BE SIGNIFICANT OVER PORTIONS OF NORTHWESTERN MEXICO AND THE
SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES.

9:21, starting to rain in Elias Calles. Wind gusts 20-25 knots (estimate). 400 yds
from the surf.............cannot see it, but sure can hear it.

Good Luck to all.

vgabndo - 10-10-2008 at 08:28 PM

The latest shifts to the south seem to have put San Nicolas' on the fringe of the worst of it. Still, it was just a Tropical Storm that slappd the snot out of us last month! I'll be anxious to hear from Mulege in terms of precipitation.

Snow flurries in Mt. Shasta today, and sounds like a hurricane outside!

shari - 10-10-2008 at 08:28 PM

Have a safe night and thanks so much all of you posting on sight reports. I hope to hear from you in the morning but I have my doubts we'll all have services tomorrow. It will be a very long rough day for many of you...please take very good care...love you guys! I'm goin mimilolo now so hast mañana amigos quieridos.

Got up to check the intermediate report they're supposed to issue at 11:00 pm to make sure it's going where they said. In San Juanico it's still nearly dead calm, wind out of the NNE at 2. No rain, no visible lightning on the horizon, no moon.

Pressure is still the same 1004mb.

Russ - 10-11-2008 at 04:51 AM

I'm surprised there is NO wind here. What I read this am Norbert has strengthened a bit and they mention it could hit the mainland as a hurricane.

I know in San Juanico we're a ways from the hurricane, but we should have some wind by now. Still nothing at 6:15 am. No rain either even though we're under some of the darker bands on the satellite image.

Just received this from Baja Insider:
Hurricane Norbert is currently located near near 22.6N 112.3W and motion is 20° at 13kts. Central barometric pressure is estimated at 964Mb and winds are 90kts with gusts to 110kts. Norbert is now expected to make landfall as a Category 2 Hurricane just south of Magdalena Bay after dawn this morning. It is also likely that Norbert will still be a hurricane when it emerges into the Sea of Cortez near Loreto tomorrow afternoon.
Hurricane force winds extend out 35 miles. Tropical storm force winds extend out as much as 140 miles. Norbert's eye is approximately 30 miles in diameter.
As a Category 2 Hurricane, Norbert stands to be one of the most powerful hurricanes to make landfall on Baja Sur since Hurricane John tore up East Cape in 2006. Let's be careful out there folks!
~~~I hope "when it emerges into the Sea of Cortez near Loreto tomorrow afternoon." is a misprint!!! ~~~

7:15 AM Lomas Centenario ~ La Paz area....wind picking up since 6:30 AM. There was a little rain during the night, but none right now. Sunrise is starting to lighten the sky behind the mountains over the city across the bay. Lots of light to dark clouds 360 along horizon, but sky appears blue & cloudless straight up. Wind feels like it's coming from all directions, but strongest gusts are from SE.

buenos dias a todos ustedes...hurricaine warriors! Thank you soooo much for your early morning reports...they are all I had hoped for and more...love the pics of the carnaval last night...even with the threat of a hurricaine...the party goes on!

We also had a hurricaine party last night with bajabum et al. (who dressed for the occasion...they went to dinner at Ramonas in their ties and sure got alot of funnylooks...I dont think anyone here has ever even SEEN a tie!) Bob gave it to Juan to wear out fishing. Whoa...those guys can party with the best of em.

I wasnt pleased to hear NOrbert woke up with even more gusto this morning...good thing is he's dancing fast and should blaze through fairly quickly...but will do alot of damage just the same. Hang in there amigos. Gonna go fill our gas tank again and buy more beer.
this is shari bonzai(as in stunted growth) reporting from the mid pacific coast of THE baja.

CaboRon - 10-11-2008 at 07:14 AM

Norbert briefly regained Category 3 Hurricane Status early this morning, but has now diminished to a Category 2 Hurricane. Residents in the storm's path, particularly those along the Pacific Coast of the affected regions should locate shelters if available and remain in contact with local officials. Although no strengthening is forecast it is still possible that Norbert may again strengthen before making landfall. Norbert is a strong Category 2 Hurricane, just short of Category 3 status. You should not venture out of doors during the onslaught of this storm. Be aware of the potential for flying debris and stay clear of low lying areas that may be subject to flash flooding. Be absolutely certain of the depth of water passing over flooded roadways. Drowning is the leading cause of death in hurricanes.

oldlady - 10-11-2008 at 07:16 AM

It's becoming windy (easterly and south easterly, guessing about 20 knots) in Centenario, just a little bit of "spritzing".
Broken clouds to the east and dark to the west.

Be safe "northerners".

Bajagypsy - 10-11-2008 at 07:17 AM

Here is hoping that All our Nomad friends in Baja stay safe, We will be thinking of you.

hang in there Pam...is the power still on there? When the power goes off, will your cell service go off when the power goes off like it does here? Please keep posting every hour or so so we know if you dont post...well...the power will be off.
It makes me sad knowing that many of you will be incommunicado in a short while so keep in touch as long as you can...this will be a day to remember for muchos paisanos.

I see the time posted on all our posts is an hour earlier...not our time. I'm feeling guilty about our sunny skies and no wind but I certainly share the anxiety of those of you in the path.

Bob and Susan - 10-11-2008 at 07:54 AM

Just back from the beach. No swim today.
Some sun but mostly cloudy with some gusts to 15. A sprinkle or two.
We did get a little sand blasted on our walk....our anemometer....Eta's tail....straightened out a couple of times.
Stay safe, you nomads north of here. Looks like the Norbert express is coming through.

More wind and rain as he comes ashore.
Still pretty light, no sideways rain.

La Paz is socked in....can't see it across the bay from Centenario, but power still on in Centenario. Windy w/ no rain....at the moment.

I really appreciate the fact that this storm was polite enough to hit during daylight hours so I can SEE what's happening, rather than just HEARING it! :bounce:

10:10 AM, La Paz

bajajazz - 10-11-2008 at 09:11 AM

Power still on in Lomas de Palmira, can still see Mogote, can't see Comitan, occasional gusts of wind from SE, some rain but nothing heavy. This has been a very lightweight event so far and I'm surprised that anyone in La Paz has lost power.

eddie - 10-11-2008 at 09:14 AM

Looks like it is changing directions- more towards La Paz.

My power went off ~9:45 to everything but the computer, modem, and phone, which are plugged into a power strip. All switches are on at the breaker box and the meter. Neighbors say theirs is off, too, but why would the one outlet still be working? Inquiring minds ...

Wind gusts, no rain at present.

Kate

Kate,

If you have one outlet working, then you still have power.

If you have 220 v. service then you might have lost a leg, Test the service in the box to see if both legs are powered up. If not then you may have had one of the three wired between the casa and the pole disconnedted.

If power in tests hot then ....

Go to the service box and recycle all breakers, there may be a trip that is not noticable to you.

Cant see that any wires are down, but something could have come loose. Wind is too strong now, but I'll call CFE after the storm passes.

Still only sprinkles here, but gusts are strong, mostly from the south or SSE as best I can tell.

Hey Loretanos
I know that I dont have to tell you that you will be in one of the two the worst quadrant where there will be more wind and rain than the other 2.
So stay safe and be careful if you go outside
Suerte

Here we have a steady wind of about 10 with gusts of more. Some light rain. The ocean is angry looking
There are police in the arroyo stopping people from using the middle of the arroyo road so it must be washed out up behind Sorianos or Rigos.
So far the road to town is open. The mouth of the estuary broke through yesterday so that should give relief to the dams that have been built to keep the road open.

Not much to say, luckily.

a guarded "Whew!"

the river is in-coming, still no wind, humidity at 75%

vandenberg - 10-11-2008 at 10:24 AM

Rain here in Nopolo now getting serious. Tropical type downpour with 25 to 30mph winds. Looks like this water is going to come down for some time to come. Visibility diminishing rapidly.
And Comitan; I think we will be going halfsies on this storm, with the area around Agua Verde taking a severe hit.
But, what the hell do I know. :no:

11:55 Loreto Just took a drive: Juarez is under water for the last couple of blocks before the malecon. A cop is directing traffic at the dueling tortillerias on Juarez. Cars are double parked, lines are winding way out the door. Went into Juarez market--the shelves will be bare before long. The place is packed. Rain is picking up. Most streets have stretches underwater. Lights are on at the phone company; looks like those guys are working hard to keep things running. Still none of those big winds that were predicted. Will we get lucky?

comitan - 10-11-2008 at 11:04 AM

shari - 10-11-2008 at 11:16 AM

listening to live updates via radio(back on) and there are very high winds and hard rain in Mag Bay, Lopez Mateos area...a freighter broke anchor and has beached there. Lots of housed knocked down and roofs off.
Here on the mid pacific coast we have clear skies..a bit hazy...and about 15-18 kn wind from the west.

Katiejay99 - 10-11-2008 at 11:23 AM

We are way south of the center here in Todos Santos and the winds are wicked. Some rain, very intermittent now but heavy gusts up here on the hill overlooking town and the ocean. Lots of white caps out there - don't think I'll run down and check the surge, tho.

Be safe - this is a nasty one.

comitan - 10-11-2008 at 11:24 AM

Dr Tom
We have gusty winds but nothing serious. We have occasional rain but no downpours and, at this moment, it is dark as doo doo.
The stormy weather comes and goes. As you can see from the above sat map, we are under a cloud cover but here on the ground it doesnt look as dense as that map shows.
Pretty typical weather for the outskirts of a hurricane.

DUH I forgot I has a barometer...reading 994 right now

The good news is that he is moving at 15mph so should not linger too long over the peninsula.

Thought the complete picture from NHC might make some of you feel better

From NHC:

NORBERT IS MOVING TOWARD THE NORTHEAST NEAR 15 MPH...24 KM/HR.
A NORTHEAST MOTION WITH AN INCREASE IN FORWARD SPEED IS EXPECTED
DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS. ON THIS TRACK...NORBERT WILL CONTINUE
TO MOVE ACROSS SOUTHERN BAJA CALIFORNINA DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS.
THE HURRICANE IS THEN EXPECTED TO MOVE OVER THE GULF OF CALIFORNIA
AND MAKE LANDFALL IN NORTHWESTERN MEXICO TONIGHT.

Can someone go up on the telmex tower and clean the lens on the webcam?

Again thanks for the up date Judy and everyone. I just got an email from my grandson in Los Barriles; y confirms that it is a mild wind there, the brunt went North, my sympaties to anyone affected, it is a son of a gun to clean up after a hurricane.

Oh que, so now I am watching what Odie will do before I send those packages. Here in Oaxaca, We had a light rain at dawn, right now some puffy clouds and blue sky, looks like the bulk of the rainy season is over here. Still, we have a few more weeks of offical tropical storm season ahead of us. Seems like one used to breath easy in Southern Baja after Oct. 10th, now we are not so sure anymore.

Lotsa rain

Rain down pour reported in Palo Verde. And I like your "all this non-technicalese!" longest legs.
On the lite side; Some people down the beach from me decided today was a good day to burn all the junk they collected since the last storm. Well, I guess that would be fine except the wind shifted and I spent a half hour looking for a fire in my house before I went out side and saw the cloud of smoke along the beach to my house. :fire:

more later

The tail of this hurricane is really whipping us here in TS. I'll be glad when it moves on. Very little rain right now but some good sized gusts blowing around.

Good luck and stay safe
