The wind picked up here last night around 12:30am, then rain, at times very heavy, during the night. It has just started raining again here (La Aguja
10:40am) - very lightly - pretty much straight down, not much wind to speak of. Mula, you may be seeing this in a hour or 2....

Uncertain of the accuracy of this weather station in Puerto San Carlos - but I'll still share the link:

Shari, thanks so much for taking the time to keep us in the loop, when you are so busy, I'm sure. Really appreciate it!
Omigosh, so sorry to hear the news of the loss of that family, that is heart wrenching. Envisioning healing for everyone.

While this seems like it might be more Ivo related than Juliette, a couple of pictures just posted to FB by Mike Younghusband:
"To all my Loreto and Baja California friends. A little sad news. After hundreds of years the San Javier Cave paintings are gone. (first pic) The wall
they were on is also missing. The damage from the recent storms is devastating."
(click the picture for full resolution)
"The road to San Javier is destroyed. (second pic) Nothing can get through. Heavy equip is parked close to the area with not much in the way of
options."

Ivo did this on Saturday/Sunday last. I'm guessing it will be closed for a while.

OH NOOOO, that is awful about the cave paintings, such a sacred piece of history. I am sooo thankful I saw them this past Spring, but so sad that
others in the future will not be able to partake in such an important piece of tribal history.
Mother Nature can be so darn cruel at times, UGH!

Talked with friends in Mulege a little after 9 this morning... Things were wet and muddy but no flood at that time... even tho it was raining
still...
We have not seen any updates since then and we can only hope no news is good news but it seems to work the opposite...
looking at the Sat. coverage there have been big waves of rain all up and down the BAJA all day...
Can only hope all of them are out of harms way....

Mtnpop..Mulege is fine. Rain stopped around 8, no flooding, roads are muddy, but all passable. Everyone relaxed once the mtn ranchos reported no mtn
rains. See my post above.
I`m leaving everything packed and ready to evacuate, just in case this next storms get strong.

This is an excerpt of a U2U I sent to a fellow Nomad early on the 27th. But I hereby resign my apprenticeship. I just KNOW you can do better.
So, let's get with it...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Glad you guys made out safe. Like some weather models predicted "most of the action would pass to the south and go east". Loreto got hammered.
I do NOT trust the existing event coming up the coast at the moment. Let's hope the coriolis effect over rides the steering currents and blows this
thing inland near Puerto Vallarta. If it comes north and hugs the coast it's going to have 30C water to feed and bathe in. There is a chance this
critter can get hair on its chest. Another huge dump of rain on already saturated ground can terrorize roads, trails and highways. IMHO Keep an eye on
the National Hurricane Center website.

These photos were taken last October of the pinturas that are now below the river bed. You can gage where the paintings are by the sign in the first
photo.

After last nights wind reports from Todos Santos, we decided to cover the windows this time...the wind has just now picked up at 7 pm but the sky has
cleared and looks like Juliette is offshore of us now...maybe....or has yet to arrive...how are things in Abreojos?
Here I am stressed out about the coming storm...hahahahaha! It's really muggy today

Wow, what a night in Todos Santos! Town looks like a war zone. Electricity finally came on at 6pm. It was a violent, damaging south wind. The rain was
not a problem
Our palapa over the garage took flight and landed 80 yards away. So lucky it didnt hit ours or someone elses house or a car. That thing must weigh
800+pounds. I still cant find the bathroom skylight. Lots of roof tiles gone and the recycling is at the bottom of the pool. The plants all look like
they went 12 rounds with Tyson. Loks like a loooong cleanup weeked ahead. On the bright side a turtle laid 129 eggs in a nest out front and the waves
were firing!

It is cloudy and calm in La Bocana. We got very little rain this afternoon and the wind blew for a few hours, that's it so far

WOW what a great attitude! Congrats to that turtle and may the eggs all hatch and the babies make it back to the sea.
May you find that skylight. Mother nature rules and is so unpredictable.
