Lou's weather station on the east cape reports .09 inches of rain as of this AM.
Looks like it will just touch the tip near cabo. this is bad news for storm surges along the east cape road...especially in the small bays and
inlets. We have a VSAT terminal in Los Frailes. should be interesting to see what happens there since it is just the type of bay that will act as a
funnel.

Obviously not as critical as the areas down by Cabo, can somebody point to forecast for BOLA in terms of precipitation, since my vacation starts today
and I was planning on staying in BOLA until Monday. My friends are already there but if it is going to rain the whole weekend then maybe I should
stay in SD or head down to San Felipe only. Thanks.
Stay safe in CABO area.

That is a scary picture.....by the looks of it the east cape will be hit hard with the east cape road cut in many areas. propane and water if it's
trucked are going to be a long term challenge for many.

I was raised in Miami... and have experienced a few hurricanes. If I were in the Cabo area with a cat-3 approaching I would evacuate. Get out now
and stay safe.

Hang in there Judy
Buena suerte, Judy to you, and to all mis amigos in my little pueblita of El Chorro.
My little town is near Santiago in Baja Sur. I have been having a bodega etc built there which was to be completed before my return in November (from
Victoria Canada). I wonder if I will ever see my finished project..or is it being wiped away as we speak? Whatever, things are things are cosas!
I do pray that everyone down there is SAFE!!

life and housing.

My fear is that from the image and the projected path that this may be a direct hit on the Los Cabos area.
Hold on to your hats folks. Our thoughts are with you in BCS.

Your updates are very helpful at a time like this. Although Hurricane John is causing much worry it is good to know exactly what is happening, and at
what time. Kinda makes me feel not quite as helpless somehow.
Thanks for your efforts,
Barbara

I'm supposed to fly in next Thursday. If it's possible and anyone needs anything I can bring on the plane let me know.
My thoughts and prayers are with you now that you are just about in the eye of the storm.

I was just wondering, once hurricane john does it's thing, if there are certain items needed, maybe post them, and people coming down could bring
items that are needed. My family and I are going back down in November, and would be more than willing to bring stuff down.
Just a suggestion.
