5:15 pm San Jose - between campestre and gringo hill
I am using home Internet right now, no cel phone service here, need to go by Barcelo and mega.
Land line works, it's the reason I have Internet now using with generator.
I have workers cleaning up about 10 different places where owners are gone, a couple more days I hope?
Got all my ducks in a row, water, food, generator, and Internet, everything except for unlimit gas.
I was able to procure 100liters today for 1500p, I have another bounty out for another 100l for mañana, if I get that I think I'm set until we get
power.
I wish everybody the best of luck with the struggle, and if anybody wants to pass me an email who wants to edit and post some pics, I will send when
generator is on.
saludos

Shari,
I'm glad to hear that you made it to Vizcaino! Soon you will be back home 
Do you know whether it is passable at Vizcaino to San Ignacio? to Santa Rosalia? Any word on the north road to San Juanico?

Sorry for the slow response, we've been busy dealing with life here in a war zone. We had the opportunity to venture out today to check out the city.
We can report that the government is throwing a goodly amount of weight into this disaster. CFE is everywhere in the city and power is being
restored. Street cleaning is full ON. The things in most demand like atm's/banking potable water and medical services have inordinately long lines.
We had no problem filling up at the Pemex. (no waiting albiet no roja) We have not seen or heard of any looting, shoplifting or robberies. The
police are present but not that much more than normal. Most of the streets are passable but it does require some "creative" negotiation. We had
occasion to visit the hardware store in search of roofing screws. The four we went to were open and the last one had what we were looking for. We
did not drive out toward Centenario but have friends that live out there and have managed to negotiate the new waters between there and La Paz. All
the normal services are up and running although Ley and Arumburo in the NE of the city are still closed. City water came on and filled our tinacos
today. If you have a property here that is not being watched or cared for you may want to come check on it. However, we have owned our house here
for 20+ years but only lived here for five. In the past, our gracious neighbors were our guard dogs and in this situation we would have been
comfortable with that arrangement. Don't hesitate to come to La Paz but be prepared for some ugliness. Oh yeah, bring some ice, the town is out but
the beer is still cold.

Yeah all good in La Paz. Has been a little bit of looting. Heard a couple gunshots couple nights ago, but most Americans would be used to that. 
Lot of damage but that's to be expected with most buildings and structures poorly built. Considering it was only a Cat 1, 2 at best, a lot of damage
was sustained. And of course people too stupid or lazy to clean up before it hit. Wonder how many smashed windows due to own debris or neighbours...
Not sure on water and food and how much us available, because I had enough for at least a few weeks as any normal person who prepared well should've.
And only a disaster in the Cabo and southern part. Pretty average storm with pee all rain in the rest. Seems worse due to pee poor construction of
buildings, roads and laziness in not preparing. Oh well.

I guess it might be hard for some folks to stockpile for just "in case" when they have a hard enough time getting food on the table each and every
day. I can understand why they might not have a weeks worth of food and water put aside.

Zola,
I got the following message, concerning a trip from Mulege to Guerrero Negro, on facebook just now:
"Drove to Guerrero Negro yesterday, kept a log (ask me if you want to see it) of road conditions and gas availability, but in summary: only place out
of gas was San Ignacio; difficulty in getting thru water on road at San Ignacio only--stream running up to license plate over bed of rocks on roadway,
hard to pass w/out 4-wheel drive and in high vehicle; major road repair work with long wait times north of Vizcaiino where chunks of highway broke
away in northbound lane, one carrying a big Los Pinos truck with it, now drivers' side down in mud at bottom of cavity. The wait featured sticky heat
and abundant flies."

I just have to jump in here for a second to countermand the complete misinformation spewing from Jonno_ass. Not sure what bunker he was hiding in but
a cat 1 or 2 storm it was not. Your self righteous "holier than thou" attitude would be better served back where you came from. The people most
deeply affected here are the poorest. Expecting them to be able to "stock up" for a few weeks is, in a word, stupid. I assume you are trying to
troll here because your whole post stinks of brain rot. Maybe you should go out into the colonias and show the poor people how to build hurricane
proof houses out of the cardboard, metal signs and tree branches they are able to scrounge up. For the record there has been, practically speaking,
NO looting, gun shots, etc. here. If I were the moderator here I would remove your post on the basis that it I counterproductive, inaccurate,
ill-conceived, and lacking any compassion that is so sorely needed in this town. I suggest the rest of you ignore this idiot and get on with the good
work we need.

no damage at all in Asuncion..just cleaning up the dust and sand that blew in and dead plants...the highway into here by all the ranchos outside of
Vizcaino is in pieces as the water from la sierra made the whole valley a lake...never been so much water coming down...it was still running in some
spots yesterday. No trucks can drive on it as the remaining bits of pavement look like they could fall in any time...very unstable in parts.
As I understand it, San Ignacio is very bad...the entrance underwater still and you have to cross in a panga to get to the village. The square is
fine. I hear Ignacio Springs got it bad but it is hearsay from people here who have family in San Ignacio. The Oasis Hotel on the highway got very
flooded.
the highways are passable
