Rain stopped. Calm, dry... think it's safe to hang up some laundry?
Ha! Not on my side of the river. I am praying to the CFE goddess tonight. I do NOT want to go out in the rain to start the planta. Stuck in Lodo
again. I should write a song.....

Hi ya'll...just back from a couple hours in town watching the crazy waves hitting the town at high tide. Luckily there was no rain so not too much
damage so far. the waves came up to the main street...again...and the bank eroded more but the palms are still standing...barely. The palapa
restaurant took some water but everything is still standing. The road to San Roque is flooded. The wind has calmed to around 30 knots I figure at the
moment but there is supposed to be alot more wind in the middle of the night as Norbert knocks at our door.
Many people standing on the edge of the banks and cliffs got soaked when big waves crashed including me! So all is well at the moment and I'm glad
some windows have boards so we may get a bit of sleep. Good night all...hasta manana...pretty cool we still have internet and power.

Oh gee thanks Woody...as they say here...No Manches!!!! kinda like no friggin way. Well at least we will be better prepared and not in so much denial.
I knew that September was going to be rough when we had such warm water a couple months ago and dont doubt for a moment we are in for stormy weather
as the song goes...did the fat lady sing that?
Back to our regularly scheduled laundry report...we can say here that we are out of the woods now. It blew around 35-45 all night and still is with
not a drop of rain...sheesh...and the seas have gone down significantly too which is a blessing for our shoreline. Dirty clothes are piling up and
hope we can get them washed before the next storm hits.
We are off for a town check...have a safe day all

An old timer told me yesterday that if it rains here for morethan eight hours Mulege will flood. It was a very heavy downpour here last night and
yesterday, so it must have been raining in the mtns, so.......... |
I went up west by San Jose De Magdelena to see what went on in the high country, and there just was not enough rain to cause the arroyos to run very
much, so I am not sure this was a test of the diversion. The only arroyo I could actually find running was the one north of Palo Verde where SAPA has
a pump and the road to Palo Verde Airport takes off, and it was pretty gentle. Did not see much around Mulege, but I did not go much past the Ice
House.

Exactly. Mulege didn't get much rain
at all from Norbert, nor did the western mountains behind us.
We got more rain from the west in the two-hour chubasco in early August. It came in fast, furious and low from the southwest.
Norbert was no test.

Norbert is long gone from Lopez, but it's still raining off and on.
No wind to speak of, but showers and overcast.

....incredible how on-the-edge that all was--just ~10 miles further inland and it likely would have been a rather different story!!  
...I'm really curious to know which high tide was most on-the-edge???

Yes, the cell that stretched from Tortuga Island and down into the bay yesterday evening was
visible from Loma Azul. It didn't extend much onto the land in town nor westerly from town.
In characterizing the chubasco of August from reference point of Loma Azul, it did come from the southwest and was very, very wet and intense in the
Mulege river valley and town.

A huge thank you to everyone for all the current postings in a stressful time. Often that info was more helpful than official weather sites. And it
is nice to feel you aren't alone when the end of the world is nigh.

Brinloor...having internet was invaluable for us and thank goodness we could see the satellite so we felt better knowing Norbert didnt turn towards
us! On site reporting is fantastic.
you are right Micah...we were very VERY lucky that Norbert veered a bit west when it got near here...the fans worked by golly! Also if there had been
rain, things would have been awful. Last night's high tide around 9 was the worst of it...I am working on photos of that hour now.
this mornings storm check revealed the new Estero Beach in Asuncion is really cool where the waves broke through...video coming soon. There were
croakers in there already!
The road in front of the new Hotel Asuncion is now closed as the bank eroded away quite a bit...we were one of the last cars to pass in front and I
sure felt unsafe. The water came up to the main street more than last week. The row of palms in town are still standing but barely.The next storm
should eat away more of the bank in town.
It is still blowing 30 knots and a few rain cells passing quickly but all is well here.
