Hard rain here in La Paz, I drained 2 inches of water from my pool and looks like I'll have to venture out again and drain some more. Gusting winds up to 30 MPH out of the west, visibility about 1/2 mile from our hilltop house, lots of water in the streets and arroyos

Weatherunderground shows Paul ashore around San CArlos with winds at max 105 and gusts up to 125, heading NNE at 19 MPH, there are heavy rain cells on the tail of Paul, that appear to be whipping to the east and possibly up the SOC, lots of moisture, has cleared for about 5 minutes in La paz as this end of the storm seems to be heading northwest

What's your pressure Mula and what's your wind direction?

Our pressure is has been declining slowly and is currently 1004.
Wind is E at 8mph with whitecaps starting. So far only 0.4" of rain.

Before I finished typing the wind switched to NW.

Hit "post" on this reply a few minutes ago and the internet flickered off. Back on again now.
Curious the airport reports such high winds in Loreto. Not seeing that at all in the center of town.
We went out about 2 hours ago and bought the last of the Pacificos from our favorite deposito. Filled our coolers with block ice at the fabrica in case the power goes out. Bought an extra garafon of water. Lots of people driving around. Streets flooded as usual. All but half a dozen boats out of the darcena. Two pulled up high and dry on the ramp. Water sloshing from the sea into the malecon. Should be interesting when the winds peak with tide this evening. I wonder if the smaller boulders they used in reinforcing the new malecon construction will hold. So far lots of rain over two days but not feeling those winds, at least at our house. Everything battened down and waiting.

It's at 1000 MB right now - in Lopez Mateos.
BajaInsider says the center of Paul is 970MB.

Sailflow.com now shows the stronger winds in the upper right quadrant of Paul crossing the peninsula south of Loreto and proceeding north up the Sea of Cortez.

Loreto


Heavy winds with medium rain. A little flicker in the electric now and then but wine cooler is holding power.

We had good winds in Loreto for an hour but seems be slowing down now at 1:30PM. Rains are starting again however. Just want the electricity to stay on.

Pebbles.....The image you attached is the forecast for 3:00 p.m. Sailflow predicts Paul's highest winds at 3:00 will be south of Isla Catalana. If Sailflow is correct, Loreto will get the worst of it around 6:00 p.m. And, then on north to Mulege.
