Winds now up to 50 - 60, medium rainfall rapid cloud movement. And the cops let me drive to move peoples stuff to higher ground :)
I saw you out 'n about this morning and figured you got a hall pass from Mulege's Finest. Good, and thanks for helping everybody like you do!
Are you now at the old lumberyard just past Saul's? I've seen your jeep there. It's parked ok and will probably be ok, but I've personally seen that area flood a few times. Take care and don't chance anything and wait 'til it's too late to get out.
Abrazos 'bro.

Good luck, everybody!

Norm,

Looks like all the boats came out with no major damage. For me, the canopy blew off. The marina staff reinforced my lines and looks like they also removed my seats. My in law says he did not see any major specific damage on a quick view. Let's hope the best for you.

The malecon was heavily damaged and will take a long time to repair. He said he was saddened to see so much damage everywhere.

I will post photos when he gets Internet.




Make it a Great Day!!

Everyone has to be alert to the development down south for another repeat in a week or so. I wonder if any area ever had two back to back hurricanes?:mad::mad:

Not nearly so bad here (yet). Our rain, other than this morning, has not been heavy. Good luck out there, safety first!

Los Cabos airport isn't looking too good.. almost unreal how damaged it got.

PHOTO REMOVED BECAUSE IT'S A DIFFERENT AIRPORT.
link to original photo: http://www.itravel-cabo.com/news/cabo-news/cabo-airport-tras...

EDIT: You know.. what part of the airport even is that? It's not the old terminal.. and it looks too large to be the new terminal, yet the photo is supposedly of the airport this morning.

So good to hear that Chivato hasn't been pummeled yet ... I'll be glad to hear the same thing in 3 or 4 hours from now... At least high tides have passed....

This picture was posted on the Cabo TripAdvisor forum. The above pic looks like it is also part of the new terminal.

That's not Los Cabos airport. Why are people circulating fake photographs of damage?

Ood
Wet keybd
No gasline left
Rain drops look like flying quarters, Strong winds, 100?
Lost one window
Streets are flooded, but no river flooding yet.
Police, ambulances and military checking on people in flood zone.
Waiting for the flood is nerve racking :)

Looking for any information and updates on the Todos Santos to Las Playitas area. I heard it was pretty bad, 120mph winds. I have many friends and a house there.
