How 'bout loading up a boat or two from the mainland? They could carry a lot more than a couple of piper cubs.

More info on Mulege------
Just received an e-mail from Dr. Vince Flynn who has a house at Coyote Bay for over 30 years-----the following reported to him by a "Patsi Hodges" on
the situation in Mulege---------(Dr. Flynn is in Coronado, CA)
Hi Vince,
Unfortunately the news of Mulege is not good. We haven't been into town yet but have been told by people who have that anything along the river is
gone. They said the water was to the top os the palm trees. The flood hit sometime early sun morn and sun afternoon trailers and cars were still
floating out to sea. People got away with the clothes on their backs. There is no power in town so no water (it's contaminated anyway) and no gas.
They said something about the military bringing in water and gas. I hope so. Geary from Burro went into town and said 100's of people are just
wandering around wondering what to do. They are left with absolutely nothing. We are so lucky here.
The water was in Mikes house but its just water and it doesn't take long for the tile to dry out. Our house was full, too. No big deal. Gives it a
good cleaning once every couple of years.
The roads are out between here and Sta Rosalia and between here and Loreto. But we see a road crew out (two Mexican's in the back of a pick-up
kicking rocks out of the road.)
Two days before the storm hit we saw dozens of cherry picker trucks heading south and then huge empty dump trucks also in the dozens. I guess so they
would be there when it hit Cabo. Wrong!! We need them.
I'll write more as I find out more,
Patsi
Dr. Flynn wrote:
Wow!! Thanks for the report, Patti. That must have been quite a storm. You mentioned Mike had alot of water, was it damaging or just nearby?
Sometimes those lower lying houses really get flooded. Would be interested in any damage reports on the houses on the river, we have a friend who has
one next to the bed and breakfast close to Serenedad. And also the runway at Serenedad, and of course the road. Thanks, and good luck. Vince

mulege status Monday 1330 PDT
My name is Dan Donohue. Just joined forum so info is about 4 hours old as of this post
Onsite report as of 1330 PDT Monday from Gaby Saul & Hugo Martinez
Rriver crested at the level of the Church steps across to the other side of river.
Road is passable to Sta Rosalia 4wd only. Debris up to 6 ft plus washed out road. , BUT THERE IS NO GASOLINE RESERVES AVAILABLE.
No one getting through from San Ignacio.
Gas stations were under water. Several homes on the American side were washed away. Some deaths rptd.
No water, electric yet,
LANDLINE phone lines are now on in Sta Rosalia
Serenidad reported washed out in spots.
Palo Verde airstrip no reported problem from here. Chivato may also be OK.
Please advise if Palo Verde availability is confirmed. What is the name of the scheduled commercial air service to/from San Carlos??
I am looking to go down ASAP to help out, but am not a pilot. I am looking for a ride. If you need/want an extra body, call me at 951-317-8824
Food & water will be most important short term.

Fox flew over the entire peninsula .. I am certain arrangements are being made to address the disaster .. tho I cannot provide more specific info.
Tho our provisions are not making it far enough we will keep the trucks going for as long as needed.
God bless and thank you to those who have made the anonymous $10 contributions - the money will be spent to purchase supplies and gasoline.

I would think that it would be inappropriate to confirm any names of people who have died in this forum. Their first of kin should be notified first.
We, who have homes there, are all curious because they are our friends and we want to know that they are OK.
I propose a more positive approach:
1. If anyone can CONFIRM SURVIVORSHIP of specific persons that relatives and friends have been requesting information on.
A. Joan Frikke of The Orchard
B. George and Cheryl of The Orchard
C. Hugh Llewellen of The Orchard
D. The Roberto Saucedo Family
Please make an effort to find these people and report. (and anyone else who requests it.
2. Can someone there start a list of survivors and post them here daily, as the list grows? This worked when I was trapped in Panajachel, Guatemala
during the big earthquake of 1976. In that case we set up a regular meeting place and everyone participated. The list was compiled and runners (on
foot) ran the list down to Guatemala City and delivered it to the Red Cross. I see by some posts that the Red Cross does not operate in Baja. There
must be an agency in Sta Rosalia that can transmit the list. Or maybe the list can be handed to pilots or other rescuers when the are able to get in
there.
3. Any other ideas?

toneart,
I didn't respond initially because I agree that it would not be appropriate.
The one name I have is not on that list.
I'm pretty sure Roberto got his family out early and I'll see what I can find out about the others.

Russ has posted from Punta chivato but no one has reported on the condition of the airstrip. The strip at Palo Verde, which is a little further
soouth is serviced by Vuelos de Guerrero Negro. Santa Rosalia numbers are 01-615-15-2-31-81 And the Guaymas number is 01 622 22 1 28 00. If Punta
Chivato were open it would not be too far to go to Mulege by boat, but it sounds like some 4x4's were able to get through from Santa Rosalia to
Mulege. The reports that I have at Santa Rosalia through Ejido San Lucas are that all arroyos have flooded and every one that crosses the highway has
taken out a large hunk of road. Some were still running. It was not possible to get to Palo Verde from Santa Rosalia as of this afternoon.

Toneart and all others: I apologize for my concern-you are correct in what you said--
I am concerned about everyone in Mulege-period--Trying to get enough information to make a decision on whether to head down or not.
At this point-no gasoline? no water-no housing-no electricity-roads impassable etc. I can be out of here in one day-once I know it makes sense to be
there--or if i can get there---many of you -- I am sure feel the same way.
I am very concerned and apologize for upsetting anybody. Joe Barnes

Organzing Relief for Mulege
After talking to my daughter's relatives in Mulege and hearing the same reports that are coming from others posting here, I know that all of you who
are organizing relief and supplies for the town...it is much needed. Any of you who are flying or driving when possible, please post here if you are
starting from or passing through San Diego. I have been getting clothes and non-perishable food to send down and if I can connect with someone headed
for Mulege who can take supplies, I would really like to contribute. Thanks and keep this community in your thoughts.

REPORT- SERENIDAD AIR STRIP 9/4/06
This is a pix taken at noon showing some standing water. I could not walk across it without sinking in even at the middle of the strip where this pix
was taken. You pilots know what is damage and what is not, but seems to me that it only requires a drying out and not a grader....si or no?

MULEGE REPORT- VILLA MARIA RV PARK 9/4/06
The guy in the photo is Jessy, a caretaker there at the park. He said where he is standing only the tip of his head would show above the water
yesterday. This is about second row back. For those who know the park, the laundry had only three feet of water inside. No injurys at this place.
Many cars and trucks with hoods and doors open to dry out.
