Thanks for that comedic break....good luck with the storm to all....we need the moisture further north and it could make it unless it sheers to the east...

Al, Pac just reported the rio is up a meter and rising. My side street has dumped a foot of mud on the new road. People are walkingup into the hills. Heavy rains for the last 4 hours.

Be safe. Thanks for updates.

Sounds like peninsula will be wet but not wind-damaged.

A huge amount of moisture NE of the center looks to be bearing down on BOLA.

Glad to hear that Blanca played nicely in Las Tunas. Did you get much in the way of rain? While I'm sure some rain would be welcome, I could just see downtown Todos Santos turning into one big running arroyo with all of the roads dug up.

I'm going into town in an hour so I'll see what it's like. We really didn't get much out here where I am. I have to run out to Elias Calles so I'll be able to see around the area but really it wasn't a big deal here.

Here in San Juanico it has been raining non-stop since the wee hours (I am not sure exactly when it started, but probably sometime shortly after midnight). Until now the wind has been light, and it has just been steady rain. Now the rain has relented a little for the first time since last night, but the winds have picked up some, nothing furious, but the wind has started to blow.

It looks as though Blanca traveled out again to sea and will make landfall a second time to the southeast of San Juanico and will travel towards San Ignacio and Mulege. It is dumping a lot of rain, mostly non-stop. It is not heavy, heavy rain (so far), but it has been raining for nearly twelve hours...

Doesnt it tend to come up all at once, when the man-made obstacles up above, give all at once?

Here in GN started a light rain around 3-4 am, wind calmed down.

More steady rain about an hour ago (12:00), CFE crews waiting all over the place. So far we´ve got power and comunications, telmex internet really slow, but thats old news.

Theres still traffic north and south on MX1, the vados from here to Nvo Rosarito are still passable.

Just talked to Bill Havig on Skype, they live in the Oasis & are staying at Hotel Mulege. No rain currently & report is river is handling the runoff. No power outage in town but south side of river has had short outages this a.m.
So far so good; this afternoon's rain & high tide will tell the tale.

La Paz got virtually no rain. winds for 10 hours or so yesterday stirred up huge dust storms, and dust is everywhere. My pool is covered in dirt, sifted through doors and windows, wife is cleaning steadily and I've finally got the pool vacuumed. pretty much passed to the west.
