Thanks, Sharky for the picture graphic. Good to see the graphic imposed over an actual photograph of the peninsula.

I went outside to see how the wind was and check on storm surge. Cerritos beach club has its lights on so its easy to see the water line. It looks
like there is a high tide line from over night but right now the line is normal and not anywhere close to the Beach Club. Light wind, steady drizzle
rain. I can't really see the waves yet.
I'll tell you, I'm looking at EEB's site and I know there is a major hurricane coming towards us, but you sure can't tell it here. I think once it's
closer we'll start feeling it but for now it's really quiet. I'll post a picture once the sun comes up.

Stay safe everyone...any nomads in Puerto Lopez/Mag Bay? Hope they and the towns people get out of there--a CAT 4 can be amazingly brutal......

No, doesn't look good. Looks like a chance of slight weakening, perhaps the best thing to realistically hope for now.
We are "buttoned up" as much as can be.
Good luck everyone, likely to be a long couple of days. God be with you all.

This is only the last paragraph of the forecast on http://www.eebmike.com/ We should take maximum precautions for this hurricane as mentioned by others.
INTERESTS IN THE HURRICANE WARNING AREA ARE ADVISED THAT STRONG
WINDS WILL PRECEDE THE ARRIVAL OF THE CENTER BY SEVERAL HOURS...SO
PREPARATIONS NEED TO BE COMPLETED VERY SOON. REMEMBER NOT TO FOCUS
ON THE EXACT FORECAST TRACK SINCE DANGEROUS IMPACTS EXTEND SOME
DISTANCE FROM THE CENTER. JIMENA WILL BE APPROACHING THE BAJA
PENINSULA AT AN OBLIQUE ANGLE...AND SMALL DEVIATIONS LEFT OR RIGHT
OF THE FORECAST TRACK COULD RESULT IN LARGE ERRORS IN BOTH THE
LOCATION AND TIMING OF LANDFALL.

Thanks HC for update. FYI caretaker is staying in my casa against my strong suggestion he seek shelter inland. He worked on plywood shutters all day
yesterday with a local carpenter and will put up today if needed. Although we think biggest issue will be flooding. Good luck out there HC and stay
away from glass.
Everyone buene suerte and take care of yourselves.

Hey Pacside: Whatsup with this camper? I didn't notice it there yesterday - looks like it's right in your yard, but it may just be the angle. Someone
is NUTS!

Cerritos Beach Club buttoned up - nobody on the beach, nobody in the water. Calm, overcast, sprinkling. Wave sets coming in faster than normal but not
very large. Photo taken at 7:40 am 09/01/09.

Yea thanks for the pic HC. Caretaker told me he moved his camper to the 'ramp' to the north of the casa but I didn't realize it was this high up.
Since you can't build on the dune our casa is 15 or 20 meters back and we have a 13 ft high retaining wall from street side so he is using the wall
and ramp as a 'fence'. I'm surprised he didn't move it inland. It needs to be lower down for more protection...i'll text him as he may be planning to
lower it.

Heads up for you people that close to the beach.
Make sure that everyone has a life preserver tied well to something trusty worthy outside but close to your house. Be able to get to it either by
another line or a structure to hold on to.
I am not trying to scare you but I would not be in any of the above locations in these pictures. Storm surges kill more people than wind. so
seriously consider heading for higher ground. pacside, you should insist that your caretaker leave. No one has seen a storm surge like Jimena will
bring.
Here in San Jose we have had a little rain and very little wind but it is dark as doo doo right now at 8:15
BTW before the course turned more to the west, I put life preservers in my house with a rope to tie them to. I am almost a mile from the shore but
with the new giant water hole(Puerto Los Cabos marina) in front of me, I was fearful of a surge all the way up here

Would advise anyone with boats on trailers to leave the plugs in the boats and let the rain fill 'em. the added weight will hold 'em down, also anchor
the trailer.

I totally agree Judy...i think many underestimate this bad girl. i would ORDER my caretaker to seek refuge. The issue with stubborn people is that
rescuers have to risk their lives to save them. I may even consider seeking refuge...which is pretty rare for me! Juan will be out trying to save
people too but we will try our best to make sure people are in the shelters before things get bad.
Pacside... I may be eating my words to you yesterday!
