Paul has gained in strength, has sped up and is projected to come on shore further South. I'm concerned that the extra speed coming on shore it may pop over the mountains. Either way we're going to get hit hard.

Still raining here with gusts of 10-15. Actually it is pouring here. Dark too.

Jim just checked the anemometer and it showed gusts of 30mph at some time since last night.

I like terrapin with the distinction between between current and projected path.

good luck to all affected. The desert will still win in the end.

Today will be a very difficult day for some of you...we wish you the best...please dont take risks, get out of the arroyo areas or help folks get out.

I imagine many of our onsite reporters will be losing internet today...so I think it would be great if those of you giving live reports can check in more frequently and we will obviously know when your internet goes down when we stop hearing from you.

The damage may be widespread with power poles and phone lines down for several days so we may not hear from some of you again for awhile. May you all weather this storm with minimal damage.

Rain began in Mulege about 5 a.m.
No wind whatsoever.

Take care and button up, West Coast Nomads.
Pick your toys up and be prepared, Eastsiders.

No wind at East Cape yet and the eye has already gone north of San Lucas latitude. 2.2 inches of rain all told so far. Still have power. More rain to come in trailing bands I suppose. I think this little village is now an island -- nobody in, nobody out for a few hours anyway. Longest isolation = 13 days. Whew? That was a wet one some years back.

9am at Punta Pequeña (near San Juanico on the Pacific)- Zero wind and light rain. Flat, glassy ocean. Brand new casa, haven't even moved in, and no hurricane shutters on it yet. :no:

First time I have been home for a hurricane in years. I think it will continue to be light here in Los Barriles. Just had a good 20 minute downpour that required one towel under one closed window facing direct South. I still have the North windows open. Slight wind from the South.
My dear Tio Gato has increased his vocabulary with some vocals I have never heard before, I think the storm makes him nervous.
Looks like the Northwest side is getting to know Paul a bit better than us in the Southeast. Be safe Y'all.

Rain in La Paz most of the night, heavy this morning, and I have to go let some water out of the pool, right now it's steady but light rain, dark skys and winds about 10-12 from the west.

We think the worst of what we're going to get has just passed us here (La Aguja). We are somewhat on the edge of Paul and it rained buckets here from about 6AM onwards. Of course this morning we have the highest high tide we've had in months right with a hurricane swell....oh boy! Hang tight you all up northwards!

Todos Santos.... Raining, light to down pour...blustery winds out of WSW.. unstable conditions. It seems Paul raced past us out there. Be safe.

Update: I'm not liking this at all. We're now in the red zone. It's still moving fast and my gut tells me it'll hop over the mountains. Hope not! Rain has slowed to a sprizzle now.
