Legs...I've thought the same thing. How can you call this thing small?

Danger comes from flash floods for those not along the coast... Get out of the arroyos and don't cross flooded vados... it's not worth it amigos!

It's true. The diameter of this is actually quite small, as hurricanes go.
Do you remember how big Katrina was last year?

The National weather service has it coming in at frailes, that would affect them people on the east cape,That would hit Osprey direct, and we haven't
heard from him, He is up high enough but could get some severe wind damage, good luck Geo.

Hi From San Jose
Looks like John has passed us by. Winds, pretty gusty but not over 30, are out of the north now.
Look out up there!
Although I havent been down to the beach lately, from here the waves looked pretty big and mean.
I will take some photos tomorrow and post them if John doesnt blow down all the power lines between me and the power station.
I must say that the waiting is the hardest part. And we have too much information now. You can drive yourself nuts flitting from one weather site to
another. I decided this morning not to look, plus I still had some things that I wanted to get done. When I finally did check it out, it had almost
gone by us.
Suerte to all those north of me.

I am keeping positive thoughts for ALL the residents of Baja Sur.
Watching CNN is awful---they seem to only be concerned with the stranded tourists, and a little about the ex-pats---it makes me want to scream 
At least I know that the members of this forum are not only concerned with the tourists, and the ex-pats living there, they are concerned about
EVERYONE.
Stay safe
Diane

East Pacific hurricanes are only small when compared to the hurricanes of the Atlantic and the typhoons (hurricanes) of the west Pacific....That being
said they can still do HUGE damage, and I doubt the writer would really call it small if it were making a bee line for Los Angeles....

Here in north Barriles winds are about 25-35 mph, waves are about 8 ft, tide is very high. The last rain squall was out of the north-east, so we are
in the northern reaches of the counter clock wise movement of John.This is one of the few times I would rather be in So. Calif. The last time I wanted
to be there was hurricane Marty. Good luck to all who get to experiance John------------Don

NOAA also has John currently coming ashore on the East Cape. Not great news for the people there, but the storm will weaken quickly if it stays over
land. I'm in Loreto and watching with trepidation and lots of extra water and junk food.

I think I should become a metorologist. About 10 hours ago I noticed the storm had abandoned it's westward drift and held on 108.8 longitutde for over
9 hours- heading to the SOC. I was thinking of my friends in L Paz but also of the numbers of the poor community in the arroyos in the CAbo area.
If all remains the same I'll be there on Thursday- I still offer to bring what I can if there are specific needs. Hang in there - we're all pulling
for you.-- Norm

My last prediction of the day, this thing is going to go up the east cape shore, and come in over Los planes-la ventana, go right tru La Paz, and head
north of Todos santos.
This is it for me, you all take care and be safe.
