Photos from the newspaper El Sudcaliforniano showing damages, flooding in Insurgentes-Constitution area as well as up to Sta. Rosalia can be found at:

http://www.oem.com.mx/elsudcaliforniano/notas/n829266.htm#

Once at this page, look on the top right of the main frame where it says:

“Galeria” El disastre desde las alturas. Click on this Photo.

On the Window that pops up, click on the red arrow “siguiente” (to go forward) or “anterior” to go back.

They really took a hit south of us in Mulege.

Ok, David, nevermind..........


Glad you fared well pacifico.


Your steam was well directed and deserved, IMHO.

All that ended up missing was the cheese.

Good Luck

Baja Sur Governor says relocate out of Mulege stream bed


Mulegé, Baja California Sur.- Ante la evidente tragedia vivida por 206 familias muleginas, quienes resintieron daños en sus viviendas, vehículos y negocios luego del desbordamiento del río Mulegé ocasionado por las lluvias de la tormenta "Julio", ayer el gobernador Narciso Agúndez Montaño visitó la Heroica Mulegé para recorrer los sectores más afectados, en donde reiteró el compromiso de reubicar a las familias asentadas en el cauce del arroyo que desemboca en el río Mulegé, lo cual -informó en reunión con la comunidad- se ha retrasado por que el gobierno estatal no ha recibido el documento que acredite la propiedad del predio gestionado ante el Ejido 20 de Noviembre Mulegé.

http://www.oem.com.mx/elsudcaliforniano/notas/n831974.htm

Just paraphrasing, it says that 206 Mulege families suffered damaged to their homes, vehicles and businesses after the Mulege River overflowed. The governor, Narciso Agúndez Montaño, visited and reiterated his commitment to relocate families living in the stream bed. It goes on to say that the government is going to acquire 10 hectares of land from the Mulege ejido and build 206 concrete houses for the people who lost their homes.

So, even the Mexicans are getting out of the flood plain.
