Dennis: Concentrate on Mulege , Chivato, Sta Rosalilla.
Cuidad Constitution and that area are Highly Masonic and have several Masonic Lodges and the 32 Degree Scottish Rite out of La Paz which have done a
great job in the Past in helping the People .
If Hospitals are needed, Constitution all though Hard Hit will have more Medical personnel and closer.
Good Bless all of you and keep you safe!

FINALLY back up after the last time but it wont last as we are inverting and need power for other things.
Radio reports indicate AT LEAST four boats aground inside Bahia San Carlos. One particularly desperate situation has a sailboat on rocks just below a
20 foot sea wall with the main mast banging against it. Bow pulpit gone. Owner, an elderly man with health problems is prostrate on the deck and cant
move. Not sure how this is going to end as getting to him is difficult, to say the least.
Weather finally abating in the last half hour but since my last report at 2am, it was the worst of the storm so far and far worse than anything I have
ever been in.
That is all. Laptop batts just about kaput. No decent dry place to run a genny right now.
But WE are alive................I am not hopeful for others in this area.

they will engage in a fairly heavy relief effort as they did for H. John.
the main pages except forums is accessable for non members and they'll post relief status and plans. they have pilots all ready signed up - they need
to get logistics done, and the red cross is in communication.
where to land? ground transport all the stuff to figure out.
Pale verde paved RW probably will be used until Loreto re opens and Serenidad is fixed. sounds like mulege and others got creamed. i'm trying to
reach people too. pretty bad day.
we have....had?? a clinic building in Lopez next to the cannery.

If the maps are any indication, the storm made landfall quite a bit to the South and East of Abreojos. And I'm still trying to wrap my brain around a
picture of the water running three feet OVER the bridge in Mulege.
It's really too bad that the mid-term elections took place a couple of months a go. Had this tragedy taken place before the elections, I would bet the
politicians would have been stumbling over each other the work up relief and rebuilding activities.

Thank you! |
Cathy day before yesterday before it hit and they were getting very prepared. they probably got some water in the house but with John by the time the
water got to the outlet it spread so Marv's and Marlin's and the casa granada didn't get as much.
they'll be out of touch a few days but my guess Marv got them thru it.

Loreto
Cell phone again, 12:15PM, 9/3.
No power, no water, cell service marginal, streets mostly open, lots of minor damage; roofs, trees, water intrusion.

I think people are starting to realize the problems with trying to mount your own relief effort for the victims of Jimena. It will be difficult to see
that the donations get to those in need and it takes a lot of work and organization. There is a better -- and far more efficient way. You can donate
money to the International Red Cross and they allow donors to "earmark" the money for specific disasters, like Hurricane Jimena. Those donations would
be transferred to the Mexican Red Cross.
The Mexican Red Cross is far more efficient at seeing that aid gets to the right parties. They already have the people, systems and infrastructure for
this. They also help Americans in Mexico. There will be a lot less "partners" in the aid, if you get the drift, if it goes through the Red Cross.

I've been reading the Mexican papers this morning. The Mexican Civil Defense is mounting an aid effort in the worst hit areas. It is apparent from the
news stories that the Mexican authorities themselves were unaware of the extent of the damage in Mulege until this morning. Also Hwy 1 is impassible
in many areas from washouts and blown over trailers blocking the road.

The new bridge just south of Santa Rosalia is wiped out or at least non-passable. That is a major wash that goes by the Federal Police station which
is probably not even in existence at this time. The road to Punta Chivato is washed out and not passable at this time. Heavy wind damage and most of
the cell phone stations are out. I did talk with Los Frailes this afternoon and while there was a lot of damage in Ejido San Lucas, most buildings
are ok, but there was a lot of wind and water in the area.

If anyone is taking clothes across please get some older Suitcases , put the clothes there and you will have much better chance getting them thru!!
Cover the Suitcases with wahat looks like sleeping gear, make it look kinda like a bed.
I had to start doing this several years ago with "Warm Jackets for Cold Kids"". Just went thropugh 2 months ago at Tecate with no problem at all, all
the way to Constitution where they were delivered.
Sacks of Potatoes, Floor, Beans are three very good things to take dow for food. Can usually get them from a Wholesale Grocer.
Folks it will be sometime before anyone can get all the way to Loreto, Mulege from either direction. and don't forget that you may be able to get to
Sta Rosiallia on the ferry from Guaymus. Be sure to call and check first

Thanks, Matthew, for starting this thread for Mulege.
I'm not in Mulege now, but speaking of the river's flood action from prior experiences in Mulege, I've seen the river rise and fall in 12 hours.
No guess when water and electrics will be restored.
Francisco of Los Equipales was excellent help last year with food and safe haven continuously post-TS Julio and stored perishable medicine for
Lorraine's animal health clinic, and this year appears to be a key player in the aftermath also.
Thanks to all for your continued thoughts of goodwill and concern for everyone in Baja Sur touched by this. I know that everyone's awareness has
grown over the last few years, and the communities as government bodies and individuals are far more prepared and cognizant of the inherent concerns.

Mulege
Marie and I wish you all of you in Mulege well. We are so sad and concerned. We have the little 2 story palapa house near the water store on the
river. It is probably gone. Does anyone have any photos?

It sounds good Arrow but many folks simply do not believe that Cruz Rojo can be trusted to do the right thing with their donation. There is a lot of
mistrust when it comes to the various agencies in any country..
I guess my question is; how would/could we be convinced they "are" doing the right thing?
