Totally conflicting scenarios. The track map shows the remnants moving west. The satellite image shows it moving south along the SOC coast line. What
I know is it is raining and windy. Oh, and I'm plenty angry with the thing!
OOPS: forgot to shrink the pic....

Just looked at the satellite & projected path updates. They still don't jive. Satellite shows the storm passing the southern end of Conception Bay
now. Although we still have rain and wind. Projected path still showing it moving West North of us. When I think of it, the projected path after
making landfall, has been wrong every time.

Just over heard a conversation on the radio. Our gardener/handyman said the road to Santa Rosalia is difficult put doable. Same story to Mulége. He
lives in Palo Verde and has family allover the area and they talk via 2meter radios. He will bring family and friends to help us dig out and make
repairs when our road is passable. I still plan to make a photo trip after checking a bunch of houses when the weather clears. I know those with
interests here are worried about their places and friends. Hang in there info maybe slow getting out but we've just been through a disaster and have
our own concerns we'd like to work on too. Like water, power, roads and supporting each other in this frustrating time. We are probably in a bit of
shock so might babble on a bit at times..... oops, am I babbling? Oh well, I'm talking to my dog more these days too.
Be patient everyone every thing here is repairable. Send some of your prayers and good thoughts to those in Mulége and elsewhere that are in real
need. Russ ("The Babbler")

Hang in there Russ!
bajaviking: Photos need to be under 50 kbs to post on Nomad from your PC. Otherwise, load them onto a photo site such as photobucket.com (free) and
pick a reduced size (15" monitor or Large) and link the image here.

Thankx David. I've got a pretty good handle on resizing now. I re sized that photo as soon as I realized it didn't load so it was confusing.
Here's a question. The tracking modle shows there is still a storm heading West but again I don't see it on the satellite imaging. What's with that?

Not you Russ, your stuff is fine... I was telling 'bajaviking' because he had photos to share and tried twice.

Thanks for the pics Russ. Wish I was there to help clean up. I'll be coming down with the BBP, already have a plane load of stuff waiting for them to
tell me where to go. Hope I get to fly in to Punta Chivato to see you.
Hang in there Russ, give Mason a scratch for me.....dt

Hmmmm....
With all that beach erosion in Punta Chivato, it looks like most of those homes are now in the Federal Zone. Yet another conundrum to be resolved.

There's something about a StarBand antenna. How one could still be standing on a roof after all this mayhem makes me wonder.
Sorry for all the damage in your neighborhood, Russ. Thanks for the eye-opening fotos.

On good authority the runway here should not be used for at least 3 days. No doubt someone will though.

Geez, Might be better to let the mud dry out before trucking or flying down to ground zero. The govt. troops are already there. They're gonna provide
the basics. You might become part of the problem, rather than the solution unless you've got a pair of gloves and a shovel.
