If I were in SC I would say that the devil is beating his wife.
BUT since I am in BCS I will say that the sun is out and it is raining.

We are way south of the center here in Todos Santos and the winds are wicked. Some rain, very intermittent now but heavy gusts up here on the hill overlooking town and the ocean. Lots of white caps out there - don't think I'll run down and check the surge, tho.

Be safe - this is a nasty one.

The Yachties here in La Paz seem to be weathering this OK so far the radio is quiet thats a good sign.

Dr Tom
We have gusty winds but nothing serious. We have occasional rain but no downpours and, at this moment, it is dark as doo doo.
The stormy weather comes and goes. As you can see from the above sat map, we are under a cloud cover but here on the ground it doesnt look as dense as that map shows.
Pretty typical weather for the outskirts of a hurricane.

DUH I forgot I has a barometer...reading 994 right now

Fast moving is a very good thing


The good news is that he is moving at 15mph so should not linger too long over the peninsula.

Thought the complete picture from NHC might make some of you feel better

From NHC:

NORBERT IS MOVING TOWARD THE NORTHEAST NEAR 15 MPH...24 KM/HR.
A NORTHEAST MOTION WITH AN INCREASE IN FORWARD SPEED IS EXPECTED
DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS. ON THIS TRACK...NORBERT WILL CONTINUE
TO MOVE ACROSS SOUTHERN BAJA CALIFORNINA DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS.
THE HURRICANE IS THEN EXPECTED TO MOVE OVER THE GULF OF CALIFORNIA
AND MAKE LANDFALL IN NORTHWESTERN MEXICO TONIGHT.

Again thanks for the up date Judy and everyone. I just got an email from my grandson in Los Barriles; y confirms that it is a mild wind there, the brunt went North, my sympaties to anyone affected, it is a son of a gun to clean up after a hurricane.

Oh que, so now I am watching what Odie will do before I send those packages. Here in Oaxaca, We had a light rain at dawn, right now some puffy clouds and blue sky, looks like the bulk of the rainy season is over here. Still, we have a few more weeks of offical tropical storm season ahead of us. Seems like one used to breath easy in Southern Baja after Oct. 10th, now we are not so sure anymore.

Rain down pour reported in Palo Verde. And I like your "all this non-technicalese!" longest legs.
On the lite side; Some people down the beach from me decided today was a good day to burn all the junk they collected since the last storm. Well, I guess that would be fine except the wind shifted and I spent a half hour looking for a fire in my house before I went out side and saw the cloud of smoke along the beach to my house. :fire: more later

The tail of this hurricane is really whipping us here in TS. I'll be glad when it moves on. Very little rain right now but some good sized gusts blowing around.
