Hurricane Liza - Cat 4 1976
I have been through a few, the year was Sept. 1976, Hurricane Liza it was the most in most intense. The winds were about 135mph. I was was with a
couple of buddies on a surf trip. We were fresh out of high school and it was our first trip to Southern Baja. At that time their was not much
information about the storm. we were camping and surfing Zippers area of San Jose, (10 - 15 foot sets) when we were told of the arriving storm. The
few people on the beach left for town, we had truck problems and barely got the truck to run. We ended up hunkering down in the truck for a couple of
days on the hillside across from the surf break
until the storm passed. Quite a ride ! Unfortunately the loss of life was great, many people lost their lives up in La Paz, most died when a dam
broke. bk

We also have also experienced numerous hurricanes (Cabo) and earthquakes (SoCal) - it's possible to prepare for the hurricane/storms arrival, but not
the ones that form quickly of course.

Henrietta? 1995 near my birthday. Never forget getting on the VHF and asking "Where is Henriette?" "Uh, sixty miles south of Cabo, and headed due
north". Rode that one out in a 30' travel trailer, a couple miles from the water. I drove up to the top of "Hurricane Hill" the day before, perhaps in
hopes of asking the weather station people about the approaching storm. The place was locked up. Sign in window "Gone to La Paz".
One area in downtown San Lucas took it hard. Blew down telephone poles - a lot of damage to buildings. Too much to be caused by the wind. So a tornado
blew through there I figured.
The National Weather Service released a statement a couple days ago claiming summer 2013 was the most "event-free" summer in the history of the NWS.
Includes the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico.
