Yes. I was trying to find a way to save photos from Twitter and post here.

To all Nomads, there are a lot of photos and first hand reports on Twitter.

Huh, must have been a usual Mulege CFE glitch. Power is on again. But for how long???

I called La Paz and spoke with my Cunado. He said that this Cat 3 had much stronger winds then the last Cat 3 but with less rain. Cell and electricity is down and still with heavy winds. He is going to wait until later before venturing out. We have a home near the end of the malecon going to Costa Baja in the hills above 'Breeze Mart'. On our street, about 7 medium trees were uprooted...

Looking over the city, he says that there are trees and power lines down everywhere. I would expect power to be out for sometime.....

Our homes came through with no damage except some water entering but not sure about our yacht in Costa Baja....

Will report later with new news if any..

Hope all safe and sound!




Make it a Great Day!!

You can see the next one forming here. You may have to drag to the south a bit. Mouse wheel to zoom in and out. Love these graphics!

Thanks for the info. I have been unable to reach anyone in La Paz. I also have a boat at Costa Baja so when you find anything out let me know. I have friends who will check my house but I think they will have their hands full with their own issues. Norm

Power is going to be seriously spotty w/downed lines everywhere at least thru southern Baja. Ditto phone land lines at least, but TelMex will be up & running dial tone service fairly quickly if history serves as indicator. CFE will take time, especially on this one, to get trans wires up as they will be way spread out.

If you have a friend w/a land line, and are heading down or know someone who is, try to find a phone that operates only off the telephone wall jack (RJ11 wall jack only, doesn't require a 120V outlet). Those old style phones are getting harder to find, but thrift shops have them. I gave one to Saul for use after hurricanes, hopefully he still has it and keeps it dry. After Jimena there was one phone in Mulege for about 2 days, then somebody scared one up to lend to Saul and there were 2. Everybody else waited till power came up. Cell towers don't have power backup in Baja like in the States.
