Hi there from Loreto. I can give a brief report as to what little I saw throughout town as I've been holed up at my rancho for the better part of two days straigt but my little ones seem to be needing attention right now and will attend to them first and get back to this a bit later.

Well it's sounding like a bleak picture sofar from at least Mulege on south. If the water rose to within 10 ft. of the bottom of the Mulege bridge , then there is sure to be exstensive damage throughout town and especially to the homes along the south side of the river. There's quite a few older retiries there and I sure hope someone is there to provide them with assistance.

That's a dangerous place to be when there is a lot of rain whether from a hurricane or thunderstorms in the hills to the west.

There is a good reason the Mulege bridge is as tall as it is.

Opps, when I happened on the the site, I thought it was current, but it was about Marty-----

Sorry--- I was looking for more information for my son who knows people in that area, and didn't read close enough.

I doesn't say so in your post, but those are old pics from Hur.Marty.


I know---discovered it after I posted---again, I apologize. I think it is pay-back. The other day I discovered a post that someone thought was current, and it wasn't.

I so hope to hear more out of Mulege---current information.

I didn't venture very much today because with no news or communication I still didn't know if we'd get anymore rain or not. When I went to look at the arroyo at zaragoza at about 4:30 pm the police were turning everyone away and it was just starting to rain in the mountains so I decided to go back home. I will make a few posts of the marina as its the place of my concern seeing we're in the fishing busness:

I did not photograph rio zaragoza as the water receded and was much lowere than when Bill posted it. IN the morning, I will go to the break in the road in the highway and photograph it too and I will also go to the arroyo south of miramar. I'll check on the airport situation and also on when we can expect water service to be back on. The last couple of hurricanes the water in the town's wells was fine but the thing that limited most folks was that they had no storage. Our pila was filled on friday afternoon. I tipped the guys and warned them about the looming storm but they didn't believe me. For several hours I thought I had over reacted but I monitored the satellites and reports throughout the night until 4am saturday and we all know what happened after that...

Thanks for the pictures and the news, Pam. It is hard being up north and not seeing first hand what's happening, but I think it is easier than being there. We are thinking of all of you there, and hoping you are safe.
Take care...
