Thanks for the info.

Looks like both coasts of mid-Baja are getting hit.

Heavy rain is back on in Loreto, along big wind/ gusts..

This morning's San Diego news (KUSI) has revised the hurricane's track to be closer to the coast off San Diego than yesterday's guess. Now predicting 1"-1.5" rain along the coast and .5"-1" inland valleys with strong winds.

If the hurricane crosses over Baja to the gulf (as one track estimate shows), the water temps there will recharge the hurricane and be a 'bad thing' for San Felipe to Yuma AZ.

My friends in San Carlos, Sonora say it's been raining for a month now. They aren't happy about the hurricane and more raining and flooding.

It's interesting that this storm isn't falling apart as it hits land. It seems like most Hurricanes don't sustain intensity very well once they have made landfall.

Sent messages to a friend in P. Abreojos & La Bocana. Got replies which was good and they are reporting a lot of rain and wind but hadn't done any tremendous damage ..... yet.

Just watched a new FB video taken this morning from the Highway 1 bridge over the Mulege River. Major flooding. It's a torrent of muddy water well over the normal river banks. Not good for the downriver riverside homes.

It's really tough to beat eebmike.com for concise, up-to-the-minute images and text, when it comes to disturbances along the west coast of Mexico. One click, and you get aggregated imaging from several sources and the NHC or NOAA discussion.

Why post the images? One click and you have everything except real time rainfall totals and wind speeds.

It keeps the potential for screwing up a thread's format to a minimum, a la Goat.

Thanks, I don't know why I didn't think of posting the links. Perhaps another cup of coffee is needed.

This is part of El Oasis on the Mulege River. The entire area is now flooded. I don't know how high the water is.

Thanks Hook... I also have been sharing the flooding videos on my VivaBaja group (La Bocana, Bahía Asunción, Mulegé, etc.). https://www.facebook.com/groups/vivabaja

Nomad 'steekers' went to Gonzaga Bay and posted photos from yesterday and this morning on the Friends of Gonzaga Bay page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/480665265646984

Getting real time info from Mulege:
1. High tide is 9am, low is 3pm (Mulege gorge is subject to tide so floods are tide-time dependent for high water)
2. At big bridge the water level lacks ~3-4M from bottom of bridge concrete, buildings still visible in La Fortuna & Yee's trailer park
3. Extreme upper end of Oasis maybe 4-5 feet coming out of the Orchard, decreasing heading east to the Cortez, probably 3ft at the Oasis Office. Water moving slowly (relatively), very muddy look to it but won't be thick heavy mud due to low-ish velocity.
4. heading into low tide at 3pm will temper any increases in drainage as may occur from the high mountains from heavy cells
Not a Biblical disaster for Mulege so far, there will be a lot of trouble for locals however who didn't have resources to lay in food, etc. I'm guessing Baja Bush Pilots are revving up as there will be plenty of road outages and stranded folk.
