fifth wheel.

Shari, Mr. Gypsy said your the best! He didn't expect you to organize all that you did for us.

If you see the box GFDL model run on NOOA click very interesting.

Angie and fred took my advice last night to abandon ship today so are headed for san quentin today but other nomads are on their way here...crazy
buggers.
david...by all means fly in with supplies and moral support!!! The strip should be OK...wonder about our nice new highway?
finally the marines and proteccion civil are getting the schools ready for shelters and we have our old vhf handhelds ready to go as phone lines etc.
will be down.
san hipolito has evacuated....only tita and bimbo are still there but we're trying to get them to come here as they will be cut off by tomorrow.
Juan says we will stay here as we are somewhat protected by the bluff and island...we'll see...I'll get my camera batteries charged up! wooo hooo

That is what it looks like now and we are still hoping it will turn out to sea---can't give up hope.
While our house is being as secured as well as possible by our good friends---plywood on the windows etc., we are more concerned with many of our
friends in Bahia Asuncion who have wood homes REALLY not built for hurricanes of any size.
It does not mean that our home will be absolutely be safe, but it is our friends about whom we worry----

I'm not liking the looks of these new models at all.
but I"m glad you all down at the tip may get off lighter than expected.
It would be helpful for those posting in the thick of things to post like every hour or so...so we know when you dont...that the power has gone off
there...maybe delegate someone on scene to be the check in person in that area....and check into chat too so we can exchange info.

Dennis:
I will await the details of Hurricane Lisa in 1976 instead of 73.
You might want to Google it up.
Again, everyone one the East side, at Loreto, San Nicholas, Mulege, Sta Rosillia be very cautious and watch for flooding from the heavy rains expected
in the Mountains.
Hang in There!!

Here at Cerritos beach the surf has not risen above normal. Wind is iffy - comes on strong then dead quiet - typical hurricane stuff. No rain right
now. Streets are muddy but passable.
All is good.

Sharks,
I do not fully understand that graphic, but from I can tell, it looks like it is predicting that when and if it hits Bahia Asuncion, the winds will be
less than hurricane strength???? I hope so.

Okay, forget what I said - There are 2 red flags on the beach and I've been going out every now and then to look and see how far the water line is
from them in order to judge whether the surf was coming up or not. No change. No change. No change.
Just went out to take another look and was surprised to see two people out there moving the flags. Then I started looking a little closer and guess
what? The surf HAS come up. The waves are HUGE and angry - no surfers in the water now.
The previous post I had just looked out my office window, noted the flags and made the report. I will be more diligent!!
Be safe everyone.

I have been in several hurricanes over the years. I was not present when Andrew struck Florida, but three days later, I began a three month assignment
in South Florida supervising catastrophe adjusters for a major insurance company. While it may be small solace to those who are in the path of Jimena,
there are some comparisons that bear noting. Andrew struck South Florida as a cat 5 with sustained winds of 165mph. It actually had been much weaker
prior to moving North of Puerto Rico and finding the very warm waters of the gulfstream. Gulfstream water temps are much warmer than those of the
Pacific, West of Baja. Andrew also struck an area that was virtually flat, devoid of mountains, which therefore offered no resistance. The area struck
was also well populated, meaning there was plenty of improved property for it to destroy. The reason I bring this up, is that according to present
models, Jimena will move West of Cabo into cooler water that should cause it to diminish in strength. The quick and dirty best case scenario is that
the farther North Jimena travels prior to making landfall, the weaker she will be.
Hoping for the best for all Nomads, their friends and family.
