OH NO! Not the liquor shelf! That's REALLY alcohol abuse. Did things float away? Get damaged?

Havig's, next door upstream from the Jungle property and with house raised maybe 20" report 3ft of water in the house. By that I'd guess little to no water in Pam & Randy's as their floor is higher and 75 meters downstream.
Sharon- Tom & Patty had both a) the same advanced warning as everybody else (who appear to have made good use of the time), and b) the H.John experience of swimming out of their bedroom window. Pretty sure they got the trailer out, not sure where they stayed.
John Dinning pretty much ditto. Havig would have reported if there was a problem because Sergio is at their house cleaning up & Sergio would know for sure.
I'll put it on my agenda for the next update. Havig's phone was running dry, so he needed to retrieve cell charger from his rig parked at Cliff's storage out on the highway south of Pemex, and I'll catch up w/him around c-cktail time if phones are still up.
I'm a little worried the cell towers are not armed w/generators and will go down if power is out too long (tower radio gear has batteries for a while), but we'll see.

Mulege - Tom and Patti


Thank you so much for the information. I talked to them yesterday about noon and they had pulled everything and were with Pam and Randy. They promised to keep watches and get out if there was water coming in based on what happened during John. My phone number is 949-233-7631 if anyone has information at any point and would like to call. Also e-mail is SharonFerrelli@gmail.com.

What a shame that there is no way to divert some of that so it perks back into the ground water table.
So little fresh water comes to Baja,
and when it does it all flashes out to sea.
Bummer.....

That crosses my mind every time I see water running out to sea, Dick, but I think it's going to be De-Sal....The wave of the future.

That's why Felipe Calderón was here last week..They are building the first of a series of dams over at Comondu..

By the way we are still without city water in Loreto..

Is there enough running water to warrant a dam? or just when there is a hurricane. Most dams are dependent on snow pack.

turned into an absolutely gorgeous day with blue skies and no clouds ... I feel like we are in a time warp ! did Paul really happen ?

sorry for those who lost windows and walls and palapas in Mulege- thank goodness, looks like lives were spared ... all the rest can be replaced.

party on Asuncion !
