Lidia?

It appears that Tropical Storm Lidia is going to make a close approach to Baja over the next few days before crashing into the mainland as a hurricane. Right now it seems the biggest impact will be rough surf, but it's definitely worth watching.

Yes, Lidia brought some rain and caused some damage, floods, buildings collapsed, drains broke and sewage ran into the Bay. Reported in BCS Noticias. Still raining until Tuesday early morning.

In my experience, during heavy rains, unprocessed sewage always runs into the bay, due to the overloaded sewer lines being used as a storm drain. Result: Geysers of raw sewage shooting out of the manholes between downtown and the sewer treatment plant. Do you know differently?

Okay, yes, I've lived along the frontage of La Paz, with sewage drains, and yes al the water runs down all the streets until it overflows the drains there and comes shooting up and out, and floods into the bay. But this time the discoloration looked a lot worse in the area of the Marina La Paz. Perhaps there was a specific issue in Fidepaz and Posada that made it worse this time, though the heavy tides and flow do dissipate discoloration quickly. There was no noticeable discoloration problem in other regions like La Ventana and Los Barriles when I passed along the water front. Would be nice to collect the water and reuse it? At least the plants are happy.
