Looks like it will be a cat 1 by the time it reaches Asuncion.
Constitucion and Insurgents, though, may get a cat 4 by tomorrow morning.

We are over in La Capila, just South of Buena Vista. It's been raining on and off since early this morning. We are getting stronger rain and winds
right now. I can see across to Los Barriles looks like they are getting plenty of rain .The sea is just starting to build with white caps. We had
winds at 25 mph it's dropped off now.

Shari, you are the one to wade thrugh fire to help someone. When you are tempted to put yourself in danger, take a breath and remember the planet
needs you a good while longer. Don't take any chances. Be safe sister. I wish I was there to help.

Hey Jesse,
Was going to be in La Paz today, but Volaris canceled flights fromTJ to La Paz. Rescheduled for Tomorrow, arrival 3pm La Paz time. Worried about the
house in La Paz, about 3/4 of a mile inland. 900 sq ft, made of cinder block built about 8 years ago. Sealed the roof with "3-yr Top" from Comex
last year. Only one coat. Hope it works.
I have two big Mesquite trees in Back yard. Luckily had the trees trimmed two weeks ago. The lot is surrounded by a 7-1/2 foot cinder block wall -
big lot, about 9300 sq ft. Hope the bars covering the windows and the cinder block wall surrounding the yard protect the windows from breaking and
letting debris and rain in.
Your updates are invaluable to me.
I am worried sick about the house. I have no experience with hurricanes. Don't know what to expect. I am watching La Paz weather reports from
various reporting services. Problem is that they vary too significantly to be able to believe any of them. Sounds like worst case, based on these
reporting agencies, is 43 MPH winds tonight and early tomorrow morning. Hoping the Mogote and the La Paz bay serve as mitigating factors to winds and
ocean surge, but don't know for sure.
Was in La Paz this time last year when they had a storm. Winds were about 35 MPH with some gusts to 50 MPH. Was staying at the Los Arcos hotel. It
rained off and on for about two days, nothing really spectacular. That kind of weather here in Orange County, CA would be nothing. But, in La Paz,
it almost crippled the city. There were intermittant electrical outages for up to 6 hours and employees couldn't make it in to work in downtown La
Paz because of arroyos being full. Drainage in La Paz is really poor. So, what I considered a mild storm, brought the city to a halt. Employees for
two or three days couldn't come to work so government offices were closed as were most shops in downtown La Paz for the same reason.
This storm appears to be bringing worse weather than was experienced last year. So, I read your posts and others like it that have first hand
immediate knowledge of what is going on in La Paz with extreme interest.
Thank you, man.

Know it is tough not to be in La Paz.
Does no good to worry, just have Faith that it want be as bad as you expect.
It looks to me as it it will not be as bad as the past where many, many people were swept out in the Bay and consumed by the Sharks as they were in
1973.

Thanks Skeet.
Wow, hadn't heard about the 1973 disaster. Lived in So Cal all my life. I am realizing I know nothing about "real weather".

I received this message this a.m. from La Paz.
"Hola,
We are all battened down and ready although the latest predictions has Jimena going along the Pacific and coming into land up near Mag bay. We will
probably get lots of high wind and rain but not hurricane force. It is anticipated at 11pm tonight. vamos a ver . . .
We had heavy rain yesterday and ended up mopping out. MX construction is not made for rain.
If there's no death and destruction hurricanes can be exciting. Best action we see all year. Although the after mess is a lot of work to clean up.
We just got back from an early morning walk. It was spitting but refreshing. We walked the back streets as the Malecon is covered in muck from the
rain and debris yesterday and it is just so slippery."
Hope this helps.

Shari, thank you from the bottom of our hearts, and thank the ants for us as well. Seriously, if you need a place, stay in our main floor, should be
good.

Just back from a quick check of the beach and the marina, which looks like a big mud puddle. The sea spray was so thick that we could not see
Palmilla from La Playa. Neighbors have finally started board up.
wind gusting to 20, no rain, road still open although not an easy passage. not as dark as it was.
getting ready for no road, no power, no phone.
I have also weathered many storms and, diver, I too was in the path of Andrew...in Key West. We were helping friends get their shops boarded up and
sail boat secured and they closed the road. Of course, they evacuated everyone to Homestead which is where he went ashore. I was in Ruby in the
Philippines, Dave and Frederick in St Croix on a boat in the harbor....to name a few that I can remember. I have a healthy respect for their power
and take no chances.
Stay safe and smart.
Bob...evacuation might be possible in Fla...where would we go? the roads are already in trouble here and will only get worse. JACK...Flights have
been cancelled. If you are supposed to fly down soon, check with your airline.
