We just got back to Northern CA after driving through 2 days of rain in Baja. We didn't see any washouts along Mexico 1, but saw lots of accidents
and Ensenada was pretty flooded as we went through.

roads into here and the highways and arroyos...it's a deluge amigos. We have guests from BOLA stranded here,but I brought them a bunch of DVD's and
baking and they are hunkered down at the beach house. Any news on the arroyos on the highways????? Sirenita says the water in guerrero Negro streets
is up to the doors of the cars...it's a real disaster zone at the moment....how is everyone else doing?

Shari,
Tell Larry, Lois, Steve and who ever else is over from BoLA we hope they make it back OK. They had asked me alot of questions about you and Juan and
the set up there and were excited to get over there and explore around. Hope they had a good time 
They will know me by Will, not my handle.

Lots of rain in San Ignaico but itīs suposed to be clearing up soon. Very big storms! So far the river hasnīt gone over itīs banks but we have to wait
and see as itīs still getting water even after the rain stops. You sure find out where the leaks are in weather like this! 
We all want a peaceful world, filled with love and laughter, but we fill ourselves with anger and hate trying to fiqure out how to achive it.

Roberto,
That's what I was thinking too, Munoz people. So since we are thinking along the same lines, they won't have any problems hanging with the rain in
Asuncion as they are baja people, ready for anything, and making the best of what comes their way.

Well the BOLA folks were fine stranded guests as they wrung out wet rugs and watched DVD's...great attitude! I admit I have never seen rain hit like
that here...the winds drove it into all the places that aren't caulked..which is everywhere...very few mexicans caulk the windows and doors...I used
to shake my head at all those casas without any windows,but they were the winners in this big storm...IF they had a good roof! One casualty of this
storm was sthe loss of 2 of our cats..Mica and her calico daugher have disappeared..I hope they are just lost and will show up soon, but I fear the
worst. Today the town is a nightmare as the main street is closed as they are trying to get rid of the hard caked on mud on the pavement...the guys
are out there swinging pick axes to break it up and shovel it into trucks...the sidestreets are all but washed out, most you can pass on a narrow
strip but have to be careful you don't fall into deep crevices. The water is off too as the pipe was broken in spots. Everyone is washing clothes and
bedding as lots got wet..very few have rain gear here so we were all helping each other getting soaked plus all the towels we had under the doors and
windows needed washing...carpets and furniture and beds aired out...looks like a big garage sale in town. But it's a gorgeous hot sunny day here
today, great for drying stuff out. It sure looks like our area of the coast got the worst of it, for once. Martillo can't wait for all the new grass
& flowers!

Man, just catching up on this thread Shari, you guys sure got a healthy dose down there. All we got was some minor stuff. Hope your cats find their
way home. Be sure to give Martillo a pat for me!
