Not sure if this has been reported elsewhere, but this was a press release from Boleo Mining Co. in Sta. Rosalia:
Vancouver, September 18, 2014 - Baja Mining Corp. ("Baja" or the "Company") (TSX-V: BAJ - OTC: BAJFF) wishes to provide an update regarding the Boleo
Project, in which it holds a 10% interest, and the impact of Hurricane Odile that hit the Baja Peninsula earlier in the week. Baja understands that
although the hurricane was downgraded to a tropical storm in the region of Santa Rosalia, heavy rains and high winds in the area knocked out
electricity and communications. Baja has been informed by Minera y Metalurgica del Boleo S.A. P.I. de CV. ("MMB") and Korea Resources Corporation
that there has been no notable damage to the project site and communications have been restored at the site but that the activity at the Boleo Project
remains halted while the site is inspected and until clean-up is completed.
Baja is deeply saddened to report that there was one confirmed fatality involving Boleo personnel. Tragically, Mr. Kyoung Jin Park, Chief Operating
Officer of MMB, was drowned in the town of Santa Rosalia, located adjacent to the Boleo Project, by a flash flood attributable to heavy rains
from the storm. In addition, Mr. Sung Keun Chai, Chief Executive Officer of MMB, who is thought to have been with Mr. Park at the time of the
incident, is currently missing. Baja has been advised that the Mexican authorities continue their search for Mr. Chai. The leadership of these two
executives has been important in advancing the Boleo Project, and Mr. Park, and Mr. Chai, if confirmed deceased, will be greatly missed.

Those missing buildings must be a result of construction. I doubt a hurricane could lift out an entire tennis court and leave no trace. There is
nothing for the wind to get lift on.....I could be wrong, but I'm just saying. Still no word for us....nothing out of playa tortuga! I did hear
someone saw our caregivers driving, so they must be safe.

Just heard from a Mulege resident tonight who made it through from Mulege to Guerrero Negro today (took 9 hours to go 185 miles). Worst part was in
San Ignacio (huge vado full of water). No mention of the stretch shown above; they must have a detour along the side which is very slow going.

Just a quick update, more later from back in the States. Made it through the storm at our house in Light House Point (east cape), minor damage. Minor
damage to neighbors house but no harm to people. After 3 days without power and info attempted to head to San Jose. The bridge is gone at Caduano.
Headed back to Los Barriles and got to a friends place just as the internet came back. No power in all the east cape, all on generators. After looking
at the info we decided to head for Loreto as their airport is undamaged and Alaska was sending an extra plane down for Friday. 9/18 am drive through
La Paz was ok. Most lights out but drivers behaving. Got gas at last station heading north. Lots and lots of power lines down between LP and CdC. CdC
appeared undamaged. Lines at banks and usual crazy traffic. Lots of mud and water over the road but very drivable. 6 hours Los Barriles to Loreto. It
is ugly down here and will be for a while but saw nothing like the madness posted from Cabo.

I believe that is the Hyatt Place, close to Mega and Mcdonalds in San Jose (right off the hwy). I have seen other pics of it online along with the
shredded side of the Mcdonalds. It is a new hotel, just built within the last year or two.
Truly sad video. The town looks broken.

I have been in contact several times with a friend on a Mexican cell. It only works in certain areas & sporadically. I know for a fact that
certain friends and neighbors are ok, but absolutely cannot reach them -- landline, internet or even cell phone. The area close to Mega seems to
work fairly consistently last two days for his phone calling out but I cannot call him.

Friday 2:45am
Copters flying over woke me up, Internet seems a little better, less traffic?
Anyway, just miserable down here, some of my workers showed up for clean up yesterday, all very concerned bout looting andthebad element, security
here and development seem to really be patrolling at night, the 2 gunshots were supposedly from an owner that saw a gang of ten looters crossing fence
that is down next to golf cours next door.
Heard 2600 people at San Jose airport trying to get out, only 1 terminal partly operational?
Gas if the have it, 1 gallon limit, line more than 1 km.
Shelters serving food 3x a day, radio gives locations, Pena here 2x last 3 days.
House fairly well gutted outside, all dedris in lot net door, getting things ready for polo, after Odile polo looks like I non event, but I'm
buttoning up anyway, radio has said nothing about Polo at all.
Was told power could be 10 days? If so that would be two weeks, I'm not that confident.
Water supposed to start returning today to some areas?
Military check points, people told don't be driving with stuff if you can't prove it's yours.
Best of luck too all, it's miserably hot and humid, but feeling luckier the more I see.
