Jimena
Just talked to Loreto. Terrible cell phone connection. Some high wind, lots of rain, power out, some damage, streets generally open. Over now, at
least for now.
Certainty is the child of ignorance, knowledge is the mother of doubt. Question everything!

The Mulege river
What's the current word about the river in Mulege?
Has it started to rise? It will.
I'm concerned about the people on the river. We lost our home there in 2006.
It will flash flood when it comes. Everyone should get out of it's way. Our neighbor was killed in the 2006 flood.

800 PM PDT WED SEP 02 2009
AT 800 PM PDT...0300 UTC...THE GOVERNMENT OF MEXICO HAS CHANGED THE
REMAINDER OF THE HURRICANE WARNING TO A TROPICAL STORM WARNING. A
TROPICAL STORM WARNING IS NOW IN EFFECT FOR THE BAJA CALIFORNIA
PENINSULA NORTH OF PUERTO SAN ANDRESITO TO SAN JOSE DE LAS PALOMAS
ON THE WEST COAST...AND NORTH OF LORETO TO BAHIA DE LOS ANGELES ON
THE EAST COAST.
AT 800 PM PDT...0300 UTC...THE CENTER OF TROPICAL STORM JIMENA WAS
LOCATED NEAR LATITUDE 27.0 NORTH...LONGITUDE 112.3 WEST OR ABOUT
20 MILES... 35 KM...SOUTH OF SANTA ROSALIA MEXICO.
JIMENA IS MOVING TOWARD THE NORTH NEAR 9 MPH...15 KM/HR. A TURN
TOWARD THE NORTHWEST AND A DECREASE IN FORWARD SPEED IS EXPECTED
TONIGHT...WITH A TURN TOWARD THE WEST ON THURSDAY. ON THE
FORECAST TRACK...THE CENTER OF JIMENA WILL MOVE OVER THE CENTRAL
BAJA CALIFORNIA PENINSULA TONIGHT AND THURSDAY...THEN MOVE INTO THE
PACIFIC OCEAN WEST OF BAJA CALIFORNIA THURSDAY NIGHT.
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS HAVE DECREASED TO NEAR 70 MPH...110
KM/HR...WITH HIGHER GUSTS. ADDITIONAL WEAKENING IS EXPECTED DURING
THE NEXT DAY OR TWO. JIMENA IS FORECAST TO WEAKEN TO A TROPICAL
DEPRESSION BY LATE THURSDAY OR THURSDAY NIGHT.
TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 140 MILES...220 KM
MAINLY TO THE EAST OF THE CENTER.
ESTIMATED MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE IS 988 MB...29.18 INCHES.
JIMENA IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE ADDITIONAL RAIN ACCUMULATIONS OF 4 TO
8 INCHES OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE BAJA PENINSULA AND PORTIONS
OF WESTERN MEXICO DURING THE NEXT DAY OR SO. ISOLATED MAXIMUM
STORM-TOTAL AMOUNTS OF 15 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE IN ASSOCIATION WITH
JIMENA. THESE RAINS COULD PRODUCE LIFE-THREATENING FLASH FLOODS

TROPICAL STORM JIMENA DISCUSSION NUMBER 22
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP132009
800 PM PDT WED SEP 02 2009
WHILE THERE HAVE BEEN NO RECENT MICROWAVE OVERPASSES OF
JIMENA...LATE AFTERNOON VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY SUGGEST THAT THE
MID- AND UPPER-LEVEL CENTER OF JIMENA IS DECOUPLING FROM THE
LOW-LEVEL CENTER. RECENT SURFACE OBSERVATIONS SHOW THAT THE
LOW-LEVEL CENTER REMAINS OVER THE CENTRAL BAJA CALIFORNIA
PENINSULA. MODERATE TO STRONG WEST-SOUTHWESTERLY UPPER-LEVEL WINDS
ARE EXPECTED TO TAKE THE MID- AND UPPER-LEVEL CENTER
EAST-NORTHEASTWARD TOWARD MAINLAND MEXICO...WHILE THE LOW-LEVEL
CENTER IS FORECAST TO TURN NORTH-NORTHWEST...THEN WESTWARD IN THE
LOW-LEVEL FLOW. MOST OF THE TRACK GUIDANCE AGREES WITH THIS
SCENARIO AND THE OFFICIAL FORECAST IS SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS
ADVISORY...BUT LIES ALONG THE NORTHERN SIDE OF THE GUIDANCE AFTER
24 HOURS.
JIMENA IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE TO WEAKEN DUE TO LAND INTERACTION...
STRONG WESTERLY VERTICAL SHEAR...AND COOL WATER TO THE WEST OF THE
BAJA PENINSULA. THE CYCLONE IS EXPECTED TO BECOME A TROPICAL
DEPRESSION WITHIN 24-36 HOURS AND A REMNANT LOW SHORTLY
THEREAFTER. IT IS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE THAT JIMENA WILL WEAKEN AND
DEGENERATE INTO A REMNANT LOW SOONER THAN SHOWN BELOW.
ALTHOUGH THE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO DECREASE...THE THREAT OF HEAVY
RAINFALL AND MUD SLIDES WILL CONTINUE OVER PORTIONS OF THE BAJA
PENINSULA DURING THE NEXT DAY OR TWO.
FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS
INITIAL 03/0300Z 27.0N 112.3W 60 KT
12HR VT 03/1200Z 27.9N 112.8W 45 KT...INLAND

I spent the day telling friends and family that my home in La Paz is OK, but I'm afraid tomorrow will be a sad day for many.
Nomads are a very diverse lot, but when it comes to pulling together in a time of crisis there are none better. I'm constantly amazed at this
community.
Thank you all.

Just heard from Chivato: water and wind everywhere, showing off Nature's violence.
Sounds like there is some significant damage around, and it is too dangerous to go out.
Just want this to be over...
