The thing is breaking appart, i doubt its going to be a Hurricane at landfall.
At the very least, the bastard should drop more rain, havent had any rain since 4pm or so.

It's amazing you're not getting squat there, Jesse. The sat/radar shows giant bands of red right over you.
I have lost my faith in technology.............again!!!

Quite windy in Centenario too, but we are on a bit of a rise. Gotta be a steady 25-30 kts with a real whacker of a gust every minute or so. Much
cooler than Russ, I think. (I'm a penguin; only know two temps, with A/C and without..right now it's without.)

Good Morning to all:
I thought I would put the storm in proper prospective. Here is a photo of what my dogs thought about it:

6.30am La Paz had strong wind till few min ago but now dropped down a bit. Almost no rain the whole night.
I just called Ciudad Constitucion and they had already 3 hours of very strong winds. Electricity is out but phone working. Some rain but much less
than other hurricanes.

6:00am west of San Jose.
That WAS a weird storm, at least at my location. Lots of angry clouds but very little rain, I would guess about an inch. There were wind gusts of
maybe 30mph but lots of periods of 10mph. Looking out at the ocean, I would give it a 6 on the Beaufort scale: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaufort_scale
CFE shut off electricity at 7pm last night, something about protecting the grid. It came back on sometime in the middle of the night. Since no fans
or AC, we slept with the sliders open and had a pleasant sleep, outside temps in the high 70's.
Absolutely no damage at our location. I can hear traffic out on the 4 lane this morning between San Jose and San Lucas. It is dry this morning with
a light, variable breeze. Should be a nice day - hot, humid, and partly sunny.
I'll give a call to Marina de La Paz this morning to see what's up with the boat.
It's now time to start looking at the next one coming down the chute!

Thanks oldlady - sometimes I think I should be more like them. I would have thought that with the storm where it is now, we would be pretty much
wind-free, but that's not the case. I guess being out here on the point and open to the Pacific Ocean, we're a little more susceptible to the wind
conditions.
I just stepped out back to check on the pool palapa (which survived!!) and there is still a stiff breeze. No big deal, just a comment. It feels good.
When the sun comes up we'll take a final tree-down count and start putting them back up.
I'm really glad this thing petered out and thankful that so far, so good on all counts for people on the Pacific Coast of Baja. I know she's not done
yet, but looking good from what I can see.

It sounds like it isn't as bad as everyone first thought, I'm still thinking positive thoughts, and hope that everyone is safe, in the homes.
Anyone else have any other thoughts?
