This afternoon produced some of the most violent weather that I have experienced here. It started with cloudiness, thunder rumbling and progressed to
a full scale, non-stop thunder and lightning show. Dumping at least 4 inches of rain and winds in excess of probably 60 mph......It lasted more than
two hours. I loved it!! The minor vado in El Centenario caused traffic to back up for several miles. I dont know about the vados in Chametla, much
more potential there!David K - 9-9-2005 at 04:39 PM
Hope the fruit trees held up okay! Thanks for the weather report.

So was this about 2 this afternoon?
I was in Todos Santos and it was black as the ace of spades in the sierra and it was thundering more than I have ever heard in Baja.
I am not surprised that there was some severe weather from what I saw.
Did you see any damage?Tucker - 9-9-2005 at 06:50 PM
Judy, incredible amounts of lightning and thunder(I love it!), My vision limited by beer store availibility, most closed, but lotsa water standing.
Yes, around 2 this afternoon.

Tucker, Thanks for the weather report. Anything else new on the hortizon? Rain wise, it has been pretty light down here in Oaxaca this week.Tucker - 9-10-2005 at 09:43 AM
Will trade grapefruit for peanut butter!! Eli, I don't know about the weather, yesterday morning looked like another ho-hum hot summer day, until the
storm hit.bajalera - 9-10-2005 at 12:15 PM
Thanks for the weather report, Charles. But dang it! I'm up here in Gringolandia and missed out on a good rain.Tucker - 9-10-2005 at 07:42 PM
Lee, I hope you didn't leave any windows open, it was one of those side-ways storms.Marie-Rose - 9-11-2005 at 10:58 AM
Did Todos Santos get any rain??bajajudy - 9-11-2005 at 11:19 AM

I didnt see any, sorry.
We left around 2 and there were certainly plenty of black clouds and thunder so maybe after that.
