The police just came through the neighborhood telling everyone not to try to cross the arroya because there were strong waters.
Yes...an island again.
Golf anyone?

And it is still comming down. Guess we won't make it to Costco in the morning. Life is tough here on the otra lado.bajajudy - 7-25-2006 at 06:02 AM
The road appears to be open but flooded this morning. The warning was no doubt for people trying to cross in the dark.
They were working on the jettys until dark
Will see how they held up on our way to the beach.
Still raining and windy.Osprey - 7-25-2006 at 06:10 AM
Four inches of rain overnight and still coming down. That's more than an average year's rainfall in this little village. Thanks for the kind words
about my little note on droughts. I'm surprised nobody on the board chided me, reminded me that it is impossible to starve in the desert because of
all the sand which is there.bajajudy - 7-25-2006 at 06:16 AM
So far Emilia has been a wonderful lady.
The rain is much appreciated and the wind has not been too bad.vandenberg - 7-25-2006 at 07:26 AM

Judy, will you be able to get some pictures without risking life and limb?

The rain is still coming down or it has started again here in Cabo San Lucas. We left our little trailer last night and came over to my
brother-in-laws house. Heard the wind and rain quite a bit last night, but not too loudly over the air-conditioner!
We had gone out to the huertas to find some mangoes yesterday morning, and had left the windows open on the camper, so came home to quite a bit of
wetness inside. Some of the dirt around the house had been washed away, and a fairly large hole had opened up in front of the camper, decided it
would be safer with my little girls to spend the night inside a real house...only problem here is that they have run out of water, so there is a pile
of dirty dishes, and I had to drag some in from outside to flush the toilets! We have a 5000 L water tank at home, so have not run out yet.
The streets of Cabo were flooded yesterday as we drove back into town about 6pm, we will have to take a drive down later to see how things are. At
least they have some new bridges built on the way into town, as I can remember some of the arroyos flooding in previous years.
We stopped at Playa Chileno yesterday, and the waves were huge. We took a quick dip, but then the security suggested that we get out of the water.
We still had our picnic on the beach, in the palm trees, and had the beach almost to ourselves. We had been there on Sunday too, and the place was
packed!!
Anyone know how to do an apostraphe on a Mexican keyboard? I have enough trouble doing the capital letters and the @!!
Saludos from CSL. I am going to look for a good satellite photo so I can see where this storm is going. I wanted my nephews to find me one last
night, but they were to busy chatting to look for the weather and my brother-in-law was too busy watching soccer on the TV to look for a report there!
I am sure we will be out enjoying the storm and the coolness (I hope) today! Heatherbajalou - 7-25-2006 at 08:39 AM
This one was taken on the road that was built for all the trucks bringing rocks for the jettys.
I am standing on this road in the middle of the arroyo

thanks for the link. Looks like another day of rain. We will just see how well all the kids do! My brother-in-law and his wife have both gone to
work and have left my husband and I with my two little girls (3 and 6), my 2 step-sons (15 and 18) and my 2 nephews (12 and 17). The little girls
love to play with the big boys, but the boys do not always last too long!!
Good thing they have cable and internet!! Saludos, Heatherbajajudy - 7-25-2006 at 08:52 AM

You can also go to my website, click on links and look under hurricane information for many more helpful links.
You still getting rain and wind?bajajudy - 7-25-2006 at 09:05 AM
Since Carlotta and Bud passed by, they have been working trying to do something to make the jettys work.
One idea, which is a good one, was to make an arm off the northern jetty to try to stop the erosion(see above picture). I think that without this arm
the erosion would have eaten through and made this jetty a rock island.
They also put a lot of rocks on the seaward side of the northern jetty, probably because they saw the waves breaking over what was there.
At any rate, what they did seems to have worked to some degree. The northern jetty seems shorter this morning.rob - 7-25-2006 at 09:21 AM
Judy's pictures of the jetties always remind me what a transitory effect all our efforts have on Baja (usually thankfully - but I do feel for the
fishermen affected).
Our local pescadores at Conquista are having a terrible time. Each fishing day needs a major decision whether to gamble on a tankful of gas or feed
the kids.

Bajalou, thanks. Very interesting website.Sallysouth - 7-25-2006 at 12:00 PM
Wow Judy! Great pics! Do you think Juanita and family are ok? I haven't heard from them in over a week, since before they left hereoxxo - 7-25-2006 at 12:24 PM
I just checked the bouyweather website. They predict that things (wind and seas) will peak this p.m. off of Los Cabos and then start to quiet down.
They are predicting everything back to normal by Thursday morning.Corky1 - 7-25-2006 at 12:31 PM
Hi Judy,
You mentioned being on an island.
We were on an island for six days last year in Az.Corky1 - 7-25-2006 at 12:33 PM

My truck when I tried to come in the back way!!
More Rain and wind
bajajudy - 7-25-2006 at 02:00 PM
I was going to go upstairs to see if the road was still open but it is pouring and very windy and I doubt if I could see it anyway. My guess is that
it is not open right now. I cannot see the ocean, it is raining so hard.
WHOA...gusts of about 25, sliders covered in rain. now this is a storm
I just found a killer loop. It takes forever to load but it a great picture of what is happening in our area.
Sally...there is really nothing scary happening, just a lot of rain and some wind. I am sure the Juanita and her family are fine. I have heard that
there have been water outages in San Lucas(nothing to do with the storm, the reservoirs WERE dry)Heather - 7-26-2006 at 12:03 PM
We made it through the storm intact! My little girls and I went back to the camper yesterday afternoon, and had lots of wind and rain all day and
evening. Things seemed to quiet down by the time we went to bed. Have not seen very much of the sun yet today, Wed., but looks like the worse has
passed! I enjoy a good storm for a day or two, but much more and the cabin fever sets in! We just took a drive through downtown Cabo, and the clean
up crews are out and about. We never lost power or water, so do not think it was that bad. Lots of wind though, we could feel the camper shaking a
bit, but it held its ground! Saludos from CSL, Heather
Judy and Heather...
Tomas Tierra - 7-26-2006 at 03:17 PM

It should be the key to the right of the 0 (zero) on the numbers keys at the top of the keyboard. The same one that gives you the ? when you shift it.
At least that's where it is on my keyboard when I shift it to Spanish.

T&T,
Do I notice a new addition to your signoff !?
Hot in Lyle this week, but no fires, so far.
Hope you're enjoying your Yellowstone summer.
Is Baja in the plans for this winter ??

Thanks TT
Yes I am just fine. The road finally opened around noon today. Just got back from town. Mud everywhere.
But bright sun shiny day now.

Good eye; I've found a "significant other". fishing, and traveling partner. We are discussing whether to head for Baja or the Mexican west coast
mainland this winter.
I'd like to explore more of the mainland but am afraid that, if I wait too long to return to BCS, I won't recognize it. Especially around Bahia
Concepci?n and Loreto.
Thanks for the weather report on Lyle. It reminds me of the heat wave of the early 50's. The gorge isn't any place to be for extreme summers (or
winters) like that. Hope you get some rain soon, or the fires will be inevitable.Sallysouth - 7-26-2006 at 08:49 PM
Thats great for T&T!! Judy, I heard from Mija today and all is fine.Thanks for your comforting words. She said it wasn't so bad unless you were
outside! Duh!! Take that from a mom with babies...hmmmm. I'll be down after the heat abides for some time.Lots going on down there and I want to get
in while the gettin is good! Saludos, Sal
