I'm so sorry to read all of this about Mulege, again. Was hoping (and still am) that it was spared of the pain it went through with John. Please let
us know how and when we can start helping from here, up north.
Can't believe this storm is projected to turn left and back over the peninsula again.

Look at the range...
...of those moisture laden clouds - across three states and all of Northern Mexico!!!
This is one HUGE storm - hard to believe all the rain that sucker is tossing around!
According to my clock...anytime is \'BAJA TIME\' & as Jimmy Buffett says,
\"It doesn\'t use numbers or moving hands It always just says now...\"

Anybody who is planning to go to Mulege, you'd better wait for better information; roads, accomodations,food, gasoline, etc. You don't want to use up
resources (if any) that is needed by locals.
Can some business set up a fund with paypal for donations? I am in for $100, and hope other Nomads can match it or give what they can. How to
distribute the funds will become clearer in a few days. Rotarians; Red Cross; Bomberos. We can't know yet. Let's get it started so that the money will
be there and ready for distribution. I am sure other ideas, probably better than mine will surface. The fund will have to be trustworthy...probably a
Nomad. Be wary of scams.
Right now, the military is there as a first line of assistance.This storm is not done yet. Hang tight! Better information will be forthcoming in the
next couple of days. In the meantime you can develop collection drives and centers and transportation, and then wait for clear information before you
start down into Baja Sur.

Should any Nomads be driving down the pennisula in the next few days... a road condition report would be appreciated...
if read correctly post indicated that HWY 1 is closed from Santa Rosalia going south(?) meaning today you could only drive to there and wait for road
repairs...

last night....lots of damage...much more wind than anyone would have dreamed...and from all directions....blowing out storm shutters, doors, roofs off
etc....extreme damage and still blowing this morning...i'm sure russ is pretty busy helping others right now...looks like some peoples satellite
connections weathered the storm...amazing.

getting roads open is the primary focus and should happen fairly quickly so supplies can go in...what is a bigger problem is all the power line towers
that have toppled...no power...no banks, refridgeration, water purification etc....power may take longer to restore...said 6 days for loreto to regain
power...radio still out now.

A fund for Mulege, yes just as there was one after John.
But what about the other communities that were trashed like Lopez Mateos etc. Sounds like they also need a lot of help.

San Juanico
Yesterday was definitely an event in San Juanico. The first part of the storm brought 60 mph winds, well our wind meter was pegged at 60? The back
side of the storm brought much heavier winds. I could only guess but 80mph with gusts maybe reaching 100mph and lots of rain. The town over all
faired pretty well, everyone was helping secure homes and the town did a great job in preparing there homes. Lots of trees down and some roofs blew
off but I have not heard of any major injuries which is great. I believe San Juanico got spared with the shift of the hurricane track south of us,
but we all feel for the towns that took the brunt of it.

I'm sure the Baja Bush Pilots can be counted on mounting a relief effort by air as soon as the situation becomes clearer, and the storm has passed.
The effort after hurricane John was very successful in bringing help to areas that were not accessable by road.

This effort could be monumental in size and meaningless if too far diluted but, that's for later. The biggest obstacle is to get it started in the
right dirrection.
Does Shari have the time? It would be great if she does.

I remember after Juliette hit in 2001 and Cabo was completely cut off by road, the government had huge cargo ships bring in supplies and 18 wheelers
by water from La Paz into the Cabo Marina. Any chance of that happening in Mulege?
Also, please post when a fund is set up for helping out, we're in.
