Thanks Al
As long as the phone lines are up, I will try to pass along whats happening here in La Ribera as it changes. We are buttoned down tight just sitting
around waiting, most all here in the pueblo are boarded up, havent seen a car go by in 20 minutes! Beach in front of us is empty, fair sized waves!
For folks that dont know the area, we are about 80 miles from San Lucas on the East Cape.

I think they named this Hurricane wrong it shoulda been Juanita, the latest model shows 2 of the tracks going north into the SOC.

If you watch the animated storm tracker notice the most western bands thrown off and just explode into giant cloud masses...sure looks to me a direct
hit on San Jose del Cabo...but it's slowed and who knows for sure
Don\'t get mad...
Get EVEN.

Fox news just reported that it may go straight up the Baja peninsula, with rain in L.A. in 3-4 days....I guess its "solo Dios sabes" but that would
seem to bethe least desireable track for all of the Baja...

Dang...if it follows that path the lower third of Baja will get trashed. I just hope the locals outside of news alerts will get notification all the
way to Mag Bay. Surface water temps in the bay are in the 80's and could gain strength after getting over water again. Time will tell but good
thoughts be with all the folks in John's path....locals and tourists alike.
Don\'t get mad...
Get EVEN.
