fdt; Thanks for the good Report.
I weathered Hurricane Lisa in a Tied down Motorhome next to Tio Don O'Niels place in Loreto.
The Arroyo to Saragosa was closed for 3 days, the Arroyos just North of Constitution was closed for 4 Days. The Debris from the Mountains was stacked
3 Feet Deep on the Beaches, 80 Tons of Piled Gravel was washed out and formed the Sandspit to the South of the Hotel Oasis.
, the Old road to San Javier was washed away, the Debris went out 7 miles and the fishing was Great with all Species feeding.
The reported number of People lost in La Paz was reported at 500 by the B=Govt. but many knowledgeable Officals reported it was near 5,000!
I had a friend who spent several days picking up bodies, they were washed 2 to 3 miles out of the Bay at La Paz.
Hope they got all the Kids out of the Arroyos.
Does anybody know how things went at Miramar at Loreto???
By the satellite visual loop, the eye just touched the mainland, a ways north of projections. The infra-red loop seems to be lagging behind the
visual, giving mixed signals.

Hey, do you know the location relationship between that dam they supposedly blew open, and the current Buena Mujer monster? Was the Buena Mujer even
built then, or was that project a response to the disaster?

Surf has been building since my last post. The man door on my boat house got flattened and so the water and junk flows in. 6' waves breaking where the
high tide use to be. Others that built on lower lots have water surrounding there homes or some cases it has entered the house. All the arroyos have
waves breaking in them. This has turned out to be quite a storm and I've only had a tenth of an inch of rain. 4 photos to follow
