Don't know, Ralph. It came down here for a while like a cow pssing on a flat rock. Thunder and lightning as well.
I think it's over.

I recently drove through all the construction zones in northern Baja...Hwy 3 to Ensenada and then south. North Baja...Most of the time it was
raining..and the roads were still very much drivable. Not a problem at all. I was in a motorhome with boat/trailer, so that's a worst-case
scenario.
Unless this turns into torrential rains, it should present no problems out of the ordinary.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Drove down from Santa Ana today, left about 1:00. By the time I hit El Toro, it was really coming down. And, it got progressively stronger. By the
time I got home about 2:30, it had rained all the way down and across to North County. I mean REAL rain - not the SoCal fake stuff. Needed wipers on
high and everything. You could see the people starting to panic on the roads.

i hurried home from work today and took the tundra out for a spin on the highway to clean the underside REAL GOOD. too many baja trips (don't get me
wrong!) and driving on the beaches and, well, it's REALLY hard to get the underside rinsed properly at the carwash.....

Started to rain heavy on the beach west of San Quintin around noon. I headed up north - Hwy 1 wasn't too bad and even all the road work north of Santo
Tomas is very doable (so far). The worst part was downtown Ensenada and the toll road north when hitting deep water pockets...

Rain quit some time ago in Mulege area. I think we got .00000001 centimeters. My parakeet drank all the patio pools.

Just drove into Rosarito proper in the dark to find a fricken ATM. Why are there no ATMs from Rosarito to Ensenada? Ok I'm sure there are, but every
one I went to was closed or abandoned. Anyways, light rain, tons of pot holes on the free road, and feeling dangerous. Just ate at Ollie's Pizza and
ready to pass out.

Light rain on and off this evening near San Felipe, about 0.1" so far.
Unless it comes down heavier overnight there's not really enough to cause any problems. Nice for the plants though, the desert is already really
green from the 1.25" of rain on September 13th.

As of 9:07 Saturday night, the center of circulation of this highly unpredictable cut off low is still offshore. The Big rain bands might have moved
through, but the instability is still there.
It appears to me as if the center of circulation will make landfall around El Rosario, though I did hear some SD " weathermen" predict Ensenada.
Might be premature to put away the umbrellas depending on where you are.

Did not to fail to disappoint here in North San Diego county. A perfect rain to keep those annual grasses growing. Hope Baja gets their needed rail
too. Here are some SD totals---

Big band of heavy rain, about to descend on the Cape area. Zoom out and animate this map, if it isnt animated.
I cant ever recall a Pacific storm making it this far south. Some of this might reach Mazatlan.
Rain, heavy at times, over here on the Sonoran coast. Heavy enough to hurt seedlings I have in the ground.

A good, heavy wet rain came down on the Baja Central Coast
(no, I didn't say "The Baja"-- hate that) in the middle of the night
with all our plywood sheets out on the pickup!
YIKES!!
gotta get UP!
Edited to add I just checked out Hook's sat photo -- WOW -- So. Baja's in for some rain (and mud). Happy for the green desert that's on its way in a
month or so from this rain and the animals that'r gonna eat and drink and otherwise be merry.
Hope your garden seedlings stand up to this, Hook.

Well....that nice gentle rain I spoke of yesterday turned into a freakin typhoon yesterday afternoon. Lots of water flying at high speed, sideways.
First thing on today's list....Leak Patrol. So far, I have none, but wind-driven rain will find the smallest opening.
