The issue I see is it appears to stall for about 24 hrs between Cabo and TS so who knows what rain fall totals will be.
having been thru a bunch of these down here these are my basic tips for this one for those off grid.
• Call and get your Propane tanks filled by Saturday.
• Fill gas tanks on vehicles and any cans you may have.
• Stock up on non-perishable foods, canned goods, etc.
• Freeze as many 1 gallon containers as you can.
• Five or so hours before the expected heavy rain, run your genny and top off batteries; if you don’t have a genny, get your batteries as full as
possible by cutting down loads and saving energy.
• Double-check solar panel mounts and hanging loose wires.
• As the storm approaches and the rain begins, turn off all solar equipment, open battery disconnects to the inverters, and place frozen jugs in
fridges—power down all electronic equipment. With wind-driven rain in the 70 to 90 MPH range, it gets in everywhere.
• Avoid opening fridges unless necessary. Think about what you are going to pull out before opening the door.
• Once the storm passes, look at your solar equipment, in particular the inverters. If they are wet or have visible condensation on them, do not
start them. Wait for them to dry out or if you have a small genny that’s relatively dry, start it and get to work with a fan or hairdryer. Many
people fry their inverters during these storms. Don’t start or touch solar system components in bare feet or wet shoes.
• Stay safe and check on your neighbors
