Surf has doubled in size now and the wind too. almost 1.25 in the rain-o gage and the shell berm is mostly gone. Don't want to go see how far the
water is but my bed room is starting to get real wet from the blow in under the door and down the wall from the AC. Gonna be a long night. I'm saying
my best prayers for those that are really getting hit.

Really into it now. Generator rope broke and it doesn't turn over. I don't like this one bit. Wind has to be over 50 rain between 2 & 4" per hour.

Well I just want to be the first to welcome you back. Hopefully sooner than later. You have made such a big impact with all your reporting and I can
only hope you made it thru the storm without injury.
If there are any immediate needs that I can fly in I 'd be more than happy to accommodate any wishes. All I need is about 1800 feet at either end of
the runway. Take care buddy.

My Parents just facebook messengered with our care taker who lives in Palo Verde and he said the road out to Punta Chivato, as we all expected, is
impassable and that the arroyo is huge and completey full and running fast, I think he said to her "Muy Fuerte Arroyo"
He also said they can't get to Mulege because of the Arroyo at Santa Ines that runs accross the road is running, didnt give any info about Santa
Rosallia
He and his family are safe! He said he will try and get out to Punta Chivato tomorrow if he can to give us an update. I will post more if/when I get
any other info. We are planning a trip down once we get a handle on everything in the next 5-10 days.
Russ we are all thinking of you down there hope you are safe!!

I have heard from our caretaker in Palo Verde that the road to Punta Chivato is impassable. The Arroyo Santa Ines is a huge river. In Palo Verde
they are cut off from Mulege and Santa Rosalia because bridges are out. He is going to hike over there tomorrow and check things out. Wish I had more
to report. I have one small photo but don't know how to download it to this site. Help appreciated.

Russ, Stevie is unable to get to Chivato. He and Shannon are on the way home. He said he will try in a week to get there. He's really disappointed.
I'll also try your email.

I talked to Russ on the radio. The road is pretty bad, Orlando made it in on the old road which was pretty wet just north of the intersection by the
community center. Russ is doing fine. This storm was not as strong as Jimena and we got a lot of rain and wind, but again not quite up to par with
Jimena. The road to Santa Rosalia is a mess, every little arroyo that could carry water did and there are power poles toppled over and lots of rocks
and mud on the highway. Guerro's son Memo has had the backhoe and has the road from Palo Verde to Santa Rosalia in pretty good shape.
There were two deaths in Santa Rosalia when a truck from the mine got washed into the arroyo by the train. One was the the head honcho at the mine
and his sidekick. One body was recovered and they are still looking for the other. There was serious damage in the marina and the old pier was
knocked out. Several boats were grounded and a couple are complete losses.
The runway at Palo Verde is covered with rocks and gravel and is unusable.
