just got this rundown from Cole:

This is what we know as of this point form the outside world:

Hurricane was reported to be about 130 mph gusting possibly above that to 150mph.
CP , Las Barracas, La Ribera, and Los Barriles are severely damaged by the huge winds and the excessive rains. Somebody said 17 in. True? I would not think so. This is a lot!
Most of the damage was to the windows and the following water damage. Not too much of the palapas were damaged at all. Maybe just a little fixing up will do.
Most of the owners that had solar panels attached to the roofs were ripped off and most of them broken.
Most of the trees in the village and the palms were destroyed and or fallen.
The roads throughout CP village are badly eroded. The road to Phase 2 has 3? of erosion next to the cattle guard making it impossible to pass with vehicle. Not sure here.
Nancy?s seriously damaged.
Water tank of the Castro?s flew? not the structure.
Coral Reef has broken windows and a bit of water damage. Ventilation hood fell.
Park and Sheila?s lots of damage but still have a roof. Thank god.
Still no access in or out of CP. Correct me.
Lots of standing water to get through Las Barracas.
Not very much food available for those that are stuck in CP. Correct me here too.
No access in or out of la Ribera? Correct me.
No gasoline or very little. I?m assuming here too. Anybody?
Same with the Propane. Running out for the water well and for additional services for the restaurant genset. This is very important! We may have to start water rationing for those that are there. All drip systems must be turned off at this point to conserve water. I need help here!
No dengue yet! And hope that it does not pose a problem for nayone! I imagine that they will need some mosquito repellent if anybody can go to the 99 cent store before arriving there to help save the locals.
The village pathways must be very eroded. Given the rain.
This sat dishes that made it through must have been the smaller ones that have less area. The only ones that made it so far that I know are cremin, barry & kani, and Rob Lerner. Maybe Peter Enticknap too.

Thanks for your help.

Cole

Hello Zac, I just got this email today from a friend who lives in Bahia. I share your same concern. Here is what he had to say about the storm so far.

"Hola Paulina
About 2 o/clock this morning we got some wind and rain but Friday nite we got some horrendous winds, they blew Guillermos new docks away. I knew the first good winds we got the marina would be history. They were scattered
all along the beach down to Villa Vitas ramp.... I'll take a
run down to your place and check it out later and let you know how it is."

Russ in Punta Chivato - thanks for your posts. Please keep them coming, if you're able. I'm interested in the welfare of all you PC full-timers - the condition of the road (I can guess!), wind damage to solar panels, windows, etc., storm surge, arroyo flooding. Anybody (present or absent) in need of anything?

I also am concerned for friends in Mulege and Santa Rosalia. Whatever news comes your way, please pass it on. Thanks for the update!

I've got my 1st report from Mulege from someone who lives on the river, they fired up the gen and sent it via DirecWay as there is no power or phones in Mulege.
I'm going to paraphrase because the report was pretty scary, but apparently there is a lot of damage, especially along the river. Luckily, they report no loss of life. The report says that the water came to 10 ft. from the bottom of the bridge. They tried to get up along the river in their quad and could only make it to The Jungle.
I'll read it through and see if I can post more, just wanted to get this out.

TechsMex,

Could you ask your friend to make posts to this forum? FlyfishingPam just got her directway antenna back up in Loreto and is starting to post. I realize they have their hands full but give it a try.

Lordy, travel up and down the peninsula is going to be a royal mess for weeks. What usually happens is that arroyos will blow out roads, enterprising drivers will create bottom scraping detours around the blowouts, apprehensive motor home and truck drivers will start to back up behind the blow out and numerous cluster "you know whats" will dot the highway all the way down. Add to the equation that a bridge between la Paz and the ferry terminal is out so no supplies from there either.

Any reports from the ferry terminal in sta rosalia?

During Juliette they did detour ferry service to Cabo for a short bit.

To continue,
the report says that Jorges park and the Orchard are "gone",
I'm hoping that's an exageration for my benefit <G>, but apparently a lot of peoples belongings have been washed out. The houses down closer to the Serenidad appear to be OK but, "most" of Marlin's new walls came down, but the big gate is still standing. Tom, Patti and Tecate got carried away by the water, but they're OK.
Like I said, I'm just reporting what I was sent, I really hope it's not as bad as it sounds
