It's the movement of the eye that needs attention. In Shark's latest link, it does appear to mean tracking West a tad.

Report from the corridor, halfway between San Jose and San Lucas.
Jimena is reprted due west of us at the moment, approx. 100 miles out to sea. It is now moving out of our area. Rain has been light and is dry right
now. Winds are variable at 20 to 30 knots, and never more. Surf is about 8 to 10 feet.
We have the windows and sliders in the casa open to catch the breeze. Our local arroyo is essentially dry. This has been pretty much a "non-event"
at our location. I've seen tropical storms worse than this.
Hurricane Henrietta, a Cat 1 three years ago, which passed directly overhead, was much more interesting.
Downtown San Lucas road construction must be a mess right now - one big mud pit.

I'm not liking that latest model either sharks...looks like entering in San Ignacio lagoon at 75 mph...which is still a hefty wind...and every report
the models move further north...i'm not looking forward to the next one.
but the good thing is with all this great info, we are ready a day early...good thing cause it will hit a day earlier than we thought too and looks
like it might be at night.....ewwww.

Sharksbaja, That's one heck-uv-a storm graphic. Stormpulse! The best I've ever seen. Hope your casa on the Rio in Mulege will be OK. Good luck.
Thanks!

It's raining really good right now, winds are 38 East to West. People using duct tape should be Ok for now. We have gotten 2" of rain so far, have
some great pictures trying to download them..

Our prayers and thoughts are with all our friends and neighbors in the East Cape. Hopefully this will pass with little wind damage and very little
flooding. Please be safe and batten down the hatches!!

I like it too. someone on the Nomads recommended it a while back. When you go there, play around. It has all sorts of features.
It is getting lighter here. Gusty wind to maybe 15, no rain.
Large water gap to cross to get to San Jose which will probably become wider and wider.
2:00pm power, phone and water.
You Pacific coast folks stay safe. I guess for this situation the saying would be "one man's treasure, is another man's garbage". Sure looks like
you will get the garbage.

In the other Jimena post OXXO is saying that the weather has passed the San Jose Area... L.B. should be in the clear momentarily.... has anyone seen
the arroyo(north) with so much rain in the mountains it should be really running!!

The surge is not bad here, just very slowly rising sea levels.
About hurricane winds: I remember as a kid living on Okinawa, there was a hurricane coming right at us and we were all getting ready for it. I was
near the door and I heard a loud sound outside so I went out to see what it was all about. I was totally shocked and amazed (and frozen in place)
watching as down the street coming at me telephone poles were snapping in half and it sounded like a train coming. It was dead still where I was - not
a wind to speak of. Within seconds I was slammed by the wind and knocked down a small embankment. Actually it was rather thrilling. But this is the
nature of the beast - never underestimate the power of Mother Nature. She can be sneaky.
Good luck to everyone up and down the coast(s).

the discussions are also very detailed on Stormpulse...here is the latest...discussion 16...the best part of it....NOT
THE NEW TRACK CALLS FOR LANDFALL ON THE CENTRAL BAJA CALIFORNIA
PENINSULA IN 36-48 HR.
THERE IS A CHANCE THAT JIMENA COULD INTENSIFY SOME AT THE END OF THE
EYEWALL REPLACEMENT CYCLE IF THAT HAPPENS BEFORE THE CENTER REACHES
COOLER SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES. OTHERWISE...THE HURRICANE SHOULD
WEAKEN OVER STEADILY COOLER WATER UNTIL LANDFALL...ALTHOUGH IT IS
EXPECTED TO REMAIN A MAJOR HURRICANE UNTIL THAT TIME.

I think you'll be OK, Diane. It looks to me as though you'll have winds of 70mph or less. Your place should handle that fine. We had a storm like that
in Half Moon Bay one winter and although the windows shook real bad, none of them broke. Boarding them up, or even taping them, may be a good idea.
The roof is good as I recall.
Shari, being on that bluff like that could mean you'll that get the full force coming from the ocean. But Juan knows what he's doing.

luckily we are tucked down by the berm that the vigilancia shack is on...that is due south of us and offers us a good amount of protection...our own
little hurricaine hole and the isand and reefs there break the big waves...if in fact there comes a 10' swell and it hits at high tide....the beach
houses are in for a rough time.
