Pretty hairy night here in the sierra, another 5-7 inches of rain with fierce gusts. I'm sure a few of them were close to 100 mph. Could hardly sleep
with the wind noise. Got up at 6:00 to see a huge oak was blown over!!!

Well David, I think we're pretty much marooned at the ranch for at least a few days possibly more! Our arroyo is about 20 feet across with water (its
normally 5-6 feet). I'm sure our 6km road will be quite damaged by erosion.
Everyone up at the park and observatory will be stuck for a while too since the big wash between the park and Meling will most certainly be
unpassable!

San Quintin rain
Rained all night here, and still raining now. The wind is blowing pretty hard as well. So far, we haven't lost power. Did lose internet for a short
while. Doesn't look like we'll be going anywhere for a few days either.

It is blowing about 30 knots from the southwest...weird and the seas are angry (pact with el diablo??), partly sunny at times, looks like we might get
some squalls maybe. Swells look around 12' and building.
Bouyweather now predicts 25' swells by tomorrow night which at high tide might broach the cliffs out here at the blowhole...hmmm...to board up windows
or not??? It's gonna be a crazy day in paradise!!!
Oh yeah, many of you who hit your head on our low palapa will be happy to know it is being dismembered poco a poco right now by this wind.

Rosarito Beach Thursday Morning: 3" rain from the storm so far. Sustained winds yesterday at 46MPH. Major beach errosion with waves OVER the seawall
here. We are getting ready for more winds and the 5-7" of rain predicted. The weather radar maps have as at the center of the incoming "red" zone.
Luckily the power is staying on and our DirecTV and internet connection still up and running.

Storm Watch
We traveled from Loreto to Guerrero Negro today. Very little rain but horrible winds. Very slow driving with sand all over the road from Viscaino to
Guerrero Negro. We are holed up in Mallarimo's now and everyone in Ensenada is telling us to stay put. Punta Banda has been without power for 24
hours now and reports are coming in about parts of the road missing. We ran into people coming south and there are several road closures with hours
of wait. Many deep arroyos with four feet of water. So it seems the worst of it may be from Catavina to TJ as far as road conditions. Marla.

A friend in TJ emails that there are numerous road closures in the San Quintin area and north, including the Sierra San Pedro Martir road, that
various areas on the outskirts of TJ and Ensenada are a disaster zone, and that in his words, the Ensenda-San Felipe road is "all flocked up."
He also thinks that if this keeps up (and it looks like it will) the Santo Tomas River (it usually isn't one) is going to cut a channel straight
through the middle of the beach at La Bocana. That hasn't happened since 1997, when three employees at the quarry at Punta China drowned trying to
cross the river during the torrential rains that year.

Students and teachers released at 11:30 Whoohoo!!

Just came back from downtown Ensenada and it is nowhere near a disaster zone but the roads are flooded and lots of pot holes you can't see. Punta
Banda is still without power and it's 4:15 p.m. Thursday. The road to Punta Banda from Ensenada is good except for mud in Cantu crossing the road. I
believe it's still passable though due to back hoe equipment. Be careful and drive slow. You can't see those pot holes when they are filled with
water.
