I think you'll be fine, Larry. It hasn't been that harsh and I think the worst has passed by.
Watch out for the P-nche-baches.

Rain Total
South end of Ensenada, since the rain started yesterday, .82 inches.
Drove from the Guadalupe Valley to Punta Banda during the rain, and the roads were in good shape (for Ensenada). Patches on Hwy 1, and the new patches
on the La Bufadora road seem to be holding.
Road and intersection flooding in all of the usual places.

It is coming in waves. As I type we have heavy rainfall and sustained winds of 34MPH! The biggest gust recorded in past 24 hours (0330 this morning)
was 42MPH! If you're out walking better put some rocks in your pockets.

Weather Info, history, Cams Good Sources
HI,
If you are boating, kayaking, traveling, and want to know what is _going_ to happen, Try these:
http://sonrisanet.org/
Geary gets up early to do WX online- and on SSB ham net.
Also he has links to cams/stations, an archive, and podcast. His blog is on :
http://www.wunderground.com/blog/Geary/show.html
If you have a SSB radio receiver, catch his broadcast each AM.
Also Don Anderson does WX on several cruiser nets. There was a listing of nets on Club Cruceros La Paz netsite- but their site has been suspended.
Typically Southbound net with Don's WX is on 8.122 khz at 055 UTC. The weather is given at 0100 UTC . Don takes Sunday off. Sometimes freqs
shift due to interference. Last fall he called the drop-down low that brought rain when we were camped off of Isla San Jose -- for the first rain in
two years.
A brief summary of sources is here: http://www.carsonhowe.com/Baja_Weather.html
When on extended kayak trips, we use the SSB WX a lot, to avoid getting caught in a bad spot at the wrong time. Also, on extended off-road trips it
is good to know what is coming up.
Don and others know the local landform effects, such as west winds pouring over the range at Gonzaga and BLA, after it has been blowing on the
Pacific side. They also give the baro gradients along the SOC. Other Cruisers will report local wind and pressure on the nets.
Many thanks to the forecasters -usually unpaid- who put this together for fellow cruisers.
Cheers,
Jay

I think a comparison to years past might show we don't need to be having heart attacks over that global warming stuff. IMHO this year is cooler than years past.

Forgot to add that the local weather station near my place said we had a wind gust last night of 111mph. Think the weather guys finger might have stuttered when he was typing in the 111111111s.

East Coast Weather...
I have been having a psychological reaction to all this wind and rain. I guess you could call it what the Noreasters call it, Cabin Fever. For
instance, I felt cooped up last night during the storm, and went out for Irish dinner at Baja Mama's which was quite good.
Now there is some sun peeking out, and I am going up to the states...can't stand to be cooped in with all this nasty weather...oh well, gets me going
and productive...or maybe I am just a Type A personality. | Quote: | Originally posted by Woooosh

And like 80 in Chicago today. Just thinking that the concept of global warming, despite intermittent cold snaps, ought better be called climate
change.

Black Clouds on the Horizon, North to South
For those of you in the Rosarito area, a BIG weather system is moving in and the winds are picking up.
Batten down the hatches.
Geez, I thought the rainbow I saw this morning meant leprechauns or unicorns, not howling wolves in the evening.
