I grew up in the snow, cold, and tornados of Michigan. We have had waterspouts here before, but I think this is the first tornado watch. Nice to see
some real weather again.

Perhaps you don't realize this, Igor, but you were very lucky to get thunder and lighting right outside your window.

It sounded like a jumbojet landing. Then a tremendous flash. I thought I was dreaming. Then I remember the computer rebooting a couple of times on
it's own and I knew the power had gone off and on.
A true Walpurgis night. The only thing missing were the sounds from "A Night on Bald Mountain".

Snow!
This is what we are getting right now at 2600', west slope of the Sierra Nevada Mts. Guess I will get to Mulege after this is all over and I can dig
out.

It was raining like crazy at 130pm and the power went out.
But by 2 the sun broke through and it's kind of a nice day. Freeway drive in to Long Beach was light trafic and dry.
Strange day for sure.

Pulled up to Moonlight beach around 11:30 am. 15 mph offshores, light rain, 12 to 15 foot face heights, a couple younguns out.
Around 2:00 there was a consistent 25 to 30 mph south wind with some gusts to 45mph or so.
Probably the strongest winds I've seen in S California.
A little after 3:00 , it got sunny.
Waiting on round 3. Hope it gales.

How's the highway between TJ/Guerrero Negro? Any rain-related problems?
I have friends who were planning to leave San Diego for La Paz on Sunday, but were unexpectedly delayed and now might not be able to leave until
Thursday or Friday (I know, the worst of the storms will pass thru then, but they need to get back to LP).

Following this post as a friend just crossed the border this morning heading to San Quintin today and then points south tomorrow. Looks like he may
have hit a weather window this morning. Hope so for his sake...

Bajaandy, if he makes good time he could stay ahead of the weather. Is he headed to the Cortez side? Danaeb, if the rains are hitting between TJ/GN,
the way they have hit here, we have not seen anything yet, according to the weather reports. Waiting until Saturday may be a very smart choice!

Punta Banda Weather- to Costa Mesa
Hi Shari
We were at our home in La Bufadora area this weekend watching the storm on sattelite TV...seemed like it was gonna stay along the border...We left for
the border at noon Monday and Hit the squall line near Rosarito...We didnt make it to the border lines in time...the road along the fence was closed
due to 2 feet of water so I took a detour up the hill in Tijuana...following the ridge because all the roads were rivers up to 4 inches deep running
fast and muddy...The wind was howling and the rain came in horizontally... the normal 5 hour drive to Costa Mesa took 9 hours instead of 5..
Tuesday about noon it started to rain in Huntington Beach as I dropped off our baby at the family babysitter...The same thing was happing as along the
border... I was about a mile from where to tornado hit...I cancelled a doctors appointment at 2 PM due to the tornado like conditions..3 inches fell
Monday in Costa Mesa but Tuesday was short lived >>>about an hour of torential rain<<<then
the sun came out. Wednesday and Thursday are suppose to dwarf Mondays storm.I saw cars with water up to the windows Monday...Glad to be in our home
up north cuz I worry about the power outages in Punta Banda..Sunday night ate 14 Lobsters in the freezer cuz i was afraid the power outages from the
wind would ruin them while I was gone.WHAT AN EXCUSE yum yum
