I like the brew Haha question. After reading The Voodoo threat I came up with .... Sticking Pins Pilsner.

I wish you folks all the luck. I will be bringing a load of clothes and some toys to Father Dan this October. I hope he is still there. i brought a bunch 2 years ago after the last storm worked the area.

By the way this is my first Nomad response although I have been reading it for years.

1:00 pm, Los Cabos

Overcast all morning with intermittent showers. Winds from the SSE about 20 mph. This is not Lowell. It appears Lowell is sucking in moisture from the mainland. Absolutely no problems at my location. Ooops, another squall just hit, should be over in 10 or 15 minutes. Dont have the AC on today, temperature is very pleasant.

Suerte, everyone.

Hey Danguy....welcome
Keep up the good work. Sounds like you know what to do when you come to Baja
I also like your sense of humor. we could do with more of that!

It is pouring here right now with a bit of wind...maybe gusts of 10mph. It has been dark most of the day. I know that the tourists hate this but I love dark cloudy rainy days. I think that I will make a pot of soup.

We were just discussing that normally a tropical depression taking this route would give us very little rain but as oxxo mentioned this is not Lowell.

Everyone take care!

I hear ya Judy! We're making chili beans and garlic toast for supper. Yes it is one of those days. A nice change of pace from the summer heat. But I hope everyone else stays dry too.

I love the rain. some of the most memorable moments I have in Mulege are at the times of rain. the local Mexican people love it also they know what it means to them. they all get out and run through the streets when it starts to rain even if it is 3 in the morning. :tumble:

I hope everyone gets just the right amount of rain and no flooding

I hope I don't get slammed again for liking rain:(

Todos Santos 19:00 hrs Wednesday

Lowell's edge tickling Todos Santos on its way northeast. Intermittent rain and gusts of wind all day, now intensifying as it approaches landfall. Sky is dark and all is ready for a good bath.

Hello all!
I received an email at 8 AM from downtown Mulege. The river did not flood and everything is up and running.

Today is sunny. Lowell has passed. Whew!

I sincerely hope that our neighbors further south didn't get hammered too much. Let us know how things are in your hood.

Best to all,
Tony :cool:

Rain and some wind through the night
Very dark skies to the north but no rain so far this morning and no wind
I would guessimate that we had about 2" maybe more.
Road to San Jose open although I am sure that it is rough. Havent actually made the trip myself
All in all, Lowell has been a welcomed relief from the heat.

Lowell has moved on and is now in Texas ...

Here is a quote from Yahoo News this morning ...

" Texans were getting hit from both sides, as the remnants of Tropical Storm Lowell, a Pacific system, dumped nearly 8 inches of rain on Lubbock in 24 hours, flooding homes and roads "

Hey, It all sounds like the coming spring will be excellent in Baja Sur. Hopi I can make it down and happy that you nomads all seem to be safe (alive)...what are possessions but things that own you. My best thoughts for you and your places.
