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. |

There is a major disturbance 3-400 miles south of the Cape, but doesn't have circulation; looks more like a chubasco for now. However, there is
Tropical Low 97E still down in the Tuanapec Express that is at least a week out, but on the same track as Odile was when I started this post on Sept.
8th.
Fair warning; Yogi is still right. It ain't over yet.
My heart's with each and everyone in harm's way right now; there's going to be much work to be done and relief needed all up and down Baja. Odile is
tied for the worst hurricane to ever hit Baja.
I don't have a BUCKET LIST, but I do have a F***- IT LIST a mile long!

Rain began in San Ignacio about 8 a.m., not a goose drownder, but good. We had an hour's pause and now, 11 a.m. the rain has begun again, pretty
heavy and steady. Power was out for an hour but on again now. Someone is out in this, working. Good luck, all.

Will do, Norm.
Where is your boat at Costa Baja? I am on the G doc
Make it a Great Day!!

Thanks-- I'm on K dock, just by the Japanese restaurant. I have someone taking care of it and extra lines and tied off a few feet out from the dock
rather than up next to the dock. I hope he took off all the canvas. Norm

Mulege - steady wind at maybe 30 - 40mph, steady light rain, no city water, internet slow, power ok. Radio trucks telling everyone to go to higher
ground, most of the stores have sold out of the basics. And now we wait....

Joe, everyone on the rio has evacuated, the Oasis, Serenidad, Cuesta Real etc. I am in my new place, more or less out of the flood zone, but if it is
as bad as it sounds, I could get flooding here.
Winds now up to 50 - 60, medium rainfall rapid cloud movement. And the cops let me drive to move peoples stuff to higher ground
