Steady light rain all night in east San Diego, continuing this morning. Less than 1 inch. The "eye" is supposed to arrive here tonight (Sunday) or what is left of it after it crosses all that cold water north of Punta Eugenia.

The "Windy" forecast model shows Hilary picking up moisture from the upper Sea of Cortez, which might bring heavier precipitation from an eastward or northeast flow.

The pics and vids I've seen out of Bahia Asuncion show a lot of damage. I have some friends out in Abreojos. Does anyone know how the the other towns south of Asuncion are fairing?

Just heard it made landfall at San Quintin.

Many car accidents on the Blvd 2000. Flipped cars and even a truck and trailer turned over. Puddles in the road and speed appeared to maybe play a factor. Sentri had zero cars. Zero wait at the pedestrian line as well in Otay. I acknowledge my lame updates are for the frontera zone, not further south where things were legit.

Good luck everyone down south! We hope to hear from Shari soon!

Facebook talk baja has a bunch of reports, one from BA, and links to a number of other FB sites with reports.

BA was hammered pretty bad. Turtle bay too.

Still no real wind where we are in LA. The forecast says 20mph, but we've had 8-10mph.

It was gusting to 19mph at my marina, but down to 15mph now.

This talk baja thread has photos and videos from folks on the ground:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/TalkBaja/permalink/734623574...

My friends in Abreojos reported in. They are ok but the walls around their campo and their car were damaged. I don't know about the village.

Photos from Asuncion look like a huge mess.

Flooding in Santa Rosalia looks pretty bad.

Bridges out on Highway 5 too.

Steady rain since about 3am. Light to moderate at times. A few heavy downpours. Light winds. Forecast still shows winds to start nuking later this evening.

km 155, Arroyo Santa Maria. That is how all bridges in Baja have failed. Reinforcement for the landing usually bad. And they did not want to spend the money on 50 more meters of bridge.

It got windy here in San Diego about 1 hour ago. Some downed branches and an umbrella in the backyard are casualties. That's about it.

Can you be more specific as to which part of the Baja highway, please (I assume Hwy. 1). For example:
Cabo San Lucas to La Paz, La Paz to Insurgentes, Cd. Insurgentes to Loreto, etc.
Thanks Harald, it makes it easier for us old guys to not have to guess. :light:
