PS as of now (Weds 9/23) the port will be closed tomorrow (Thurs)
BUT as we have experienced many times over the 30 years we know not to make predictions and wait for the esteemed Port Captain to announce.
PPS AK you are welcome.

No argument from me! I was just sharing a graphic of the potential interaction between the two storms later on. Like many of us, I'm watching
carefully from afar, as I've just booked round-trip tickets to and from Cabo from Providence, RI for late January through mid-February.

Ateo pleasant and safe travels!
6pm Weds
Port Capt announced port will be OPEN tomorrow Thurs 6am - and potentially will be closed again like today to new traffic as of noon.
Those moving satellite videos on EEBMIKE are very helpful even for someone who is not climatologically edu-macated.

It looks like the next Tropical Storm and Hurricane might be Simon - currently known as Tropical Depression Twenty-E. Meanwhile, on the East Coast,
the season's first hurricane, Isaias, is rapidly forming in the Gulf of Mexico.

Non-issue at those dates. Among the things I admire about Mexicans, is their quick and stoic recovery from natural disasters that would... keep U.S.
lawyers in their Mercedes for years to come.

am."
"...they were careful of their demeanor that they not be thought to have opinions on what they heard for like most men skilled at their work they
were scornful of any least suggestion of knowing anything not learned at first hand."

I quite agree - and deeply respect - the resiliency of Mexicans to the various storms that frequent Baja.

Emergency repairs in the land of Mañana
When a road has to get opened, things like permits, engineering, inspections, and environmental concerns probably won't get in the way.
Things that probably should get fixed sooner or later will still be getting blamed on hurricane Polo for more than a couple of years!

Zoom Radar forecasts Hurricane Simon to make landfall around Puerto Vallarta and travel north through Jalisco and Sinaloa before stalling out inland.
Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Rachel continues to churn through the eastern Pacific, making landfall in northern Baja before crossing into Arizona and
possibly Nevada and Utah. She's racking up that frequent flyer mileage!

In North County San Diego, at noon, it is all overcast and the wind is picking up. Rain not far away. Very humid and warm: 76°

On Facebook, Ron Hoff (a.k.a. "BajaGringo") just reported significant damage in La Chorera despite the fact that the center of Post-Tropical Storm
Rachel made landfall 60 miles to the north. At the moment, Hurricane Simon is wreaking havoc as it travels northward from Jalisco through Nayarit and
Sinaloa. South of Alcapulco there is another blob of unsettled air that threatens to form yet another storm. Be careful out there!

It looks like Simon has veered slightly to the northwest, sparing Puerto Vallarta a direct hit while losing some strength before making landfall in
Mazatlan. Given the size of the storm, its outer bands are likely to bring more rain to southern Baja. Best to continue to monitor the situation and
remain prepared.

That's meteorologist technical jargon, right?

Sorry - I didn't mean to get overly technical!
Coincidentally, in my former line of work (IT), a BLOB was a "Binary Large OBject," basically any big unstructured non-text file.

Well, that mass of air is binary.
Or it isn't.

Simon is still full of ones and zeros!
WeatherUnderground shows it moving northwest before turning due north, no longer headed for Mazatlán but instead closer to Culiacán. Unfortunately,
with the storm moving very slowly, the Pacific coast of Mexico is getting a lot of rain. Furthermore, it looks like the outer bands of the storm will
impact Baja as well.

I was playing with the Windy forecast site, and there is a significant difference between the several models available. All of them show Baja Sur
getting some more rain, but Simon coming ashore could be anywhere from Mazatlán to Guaymas.
How long it hovers over the ocean south of Baja could have quite an impact on the amount of wind and rain generated.
As I stated before, it must be a frustrating year for the forecasters!

Indeed, the last forecast I saw from the National Hurricane Center shows Simon making landfall around Cabo as a Tropical Storm. And speaking of
tropical storms, Trudy has just been named, and is on a similar trajectory!

It looks like Ensenada got slammed hard!
This is an eight and a half minute video of some of the damage Rachel left behind; https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/tropical-storm-rachel-w...
