santiago...might be a good idea to bring a couple extra jerry jugs and fill them in the north...el rosario as our gas here comes from south and wont
be getting through...we still have gas here in town but it will run out likely...we are filling reserve jugs here although juan just went fishing and
will burn a few looking for tuna offshore.
ps...can you please bring a big bag of economy cat food....we now have 6 cats....three bobcat cross kitties will be for adoption if any of you lost
kitties in the storm!!

Here's what I gather about those affected from the articles translated:
Yesterday
"La Paz-Ciudad Constitucion, San Carlos, just over 50 thousand people around the towns without light and water." (who had it before).
"The parastatal explained that the strong wind knocked over a 1200 posts, 102 towers and damaged the circuits of distribution and transmission lines."
Today
http://www.eluniversal.com.mx/estados/72975.html
"Jimena" leaves to 75 thousand without services in BCS
"The Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) reported that 59 thousand people in Loreto, Ciudad Constitucion, Santa Rosalia, Puerto San Carlos, Mulege,
Comondú Villa Insurgentes and other villages were left without light."
"In the municipalities of Comondu and Mulege at least 2 thousand homes have been severely damaged. In the town of Puerto Adolfo López Mateos some 250
are recorded damage in Mulege over 600, including 300 with total damage."
"The delegate Ivan de la Toba reported that Lopez Mateos-... are without the services of electricity or running water, and that the 500 evacuees
exceeded the capacity of shelters, which is 300."
---------
http://www.oem.com.mx/elsudcaliforniano/notas/n1309603.htm
"Travel is limited to 4x4 and is difficult to pass from La Paz to Constituccion due to obstacles, mud, and road problems."
In Mulege County 6,000 people require temporary (albergadas) housing.
In Cabo region 3500
In La Paz region 1500
In Loreto region 417
Most other regions not yet reporting
---------
http://www.oem.com.mx/elsudcaliforniano/notas/n1311817.htm
"On his way through Baja California, Hurricane Jimena "devastated Magdalena Island, about 200 homes were destroyed, leaving hundreds of homeless
people, who for two centuries are settled in this majestic stretch of land, about 200 families are in distress and urgent clamor for government
intervention at all three levels, said Martin de la Toba Miranda."
----------
http://noticias.prodigy.msn.com/Fotogalerias/huracan_jimena....
----------
http://www.jornada.unam.mx/2009/09/04/index.php?section=esta...
In Mulege 8,000 people are in temporary shelter
Sonora declares emergency in 12 municipalities
----------
In Mulege one death was reported. Rafael Cuesta Real 69 years old pased away.
Authorities reported that a septuagenarian Mulege, identified as Rafael Cuesta, drowned in their homes. And in the fishing village of San Buto,
Comondú municipality, a person remains missing.

More news trickling in:
The Secretary General of Mulegé, José Antonio Espinoza Tirado, did a damage review and he estimates there are 650 homes damaged in Mulegé, with about
300 a total loss.
The road from Loreto to Cabo San Lucas is passable. From Loreto to Santa Rosalia there are 9 washouts and the road is not passable. So Mulegé is
currently isolated.

Three major needs shaping up:
1) large tarps for temporary roof covering,
2) visqueen (transparent but durable plastic sheeting) for temporary window repair,
3) Duct tape for both the above.
Above available at local home improvement centers or building supply joints near you.
I'm getting more phones ringing in Mulege although nobody answering, so the Telmex central office must be getting attention from inside; I am fairly
sure none of the residences or businesses I'm calling have dial tone. I expect aerial lines are in same shape as electric- poles down, lines down,
etc. Proper phone service around town will take weeks to get straight. Once the cell sites have power again (they will probably wheel in generators
once roads are open) that will be the routine phone service for maybe a month. And cell service was reported for a short time after power went down,
so that means some battery backup which should bridge service between brown outs which will be a regular occurrence for at least 90 days. My AT&T
phone roams in Mulege fairly seamlessly when there is service, that's a good choice if you are thinking a temp phone.

Latest I've heard is that both approaches to the big curving bridge South of SR are gone and the big new bridge south of that is out too. Road south
of Mulége to Loreto open. Raining and windy here since around 8AM. Satillete image show storm moving South along the SOC coast but track image shows
Westward direction??????
Edit: Runways at Palo Verde and Serinidad closed. Chivato was OK this AM with one obvious low wet spot. However there is no road in/out of here. Road
work will start once the water levels go down and it stops frigging raining.

From BBP -
Just got off the telephone with Nely Fregozo in Constitution. She is in the office of the Mayors wife, who is the head of DIF for the area. They
will ask the Red Cross for help. The paved Constitution airport is open. The Governor recently landed and is touring the area. Constitution was hit
pretty hard. The new LEY market was destroyed, but the old Super Murillo market survived. Water and Electricity are out, but hopes are that both
will be back in service by sometime tomorrow. Lots of home and building damage. There is a road passable between Mantancitas and Constitution. The
Lopez Mateos - Mantancitas runway is not yet usable. Reports are that up to 90% of the structures in Lopez were damaged or destroyed. We have not
been able to make contact with anyone at the Cannery yet. The La Purisima hill top strip is reported to be usable, but we have no word on town
conditions. We have no word on San Carlos, but reports are that the town of Isla Magdalena no longer exists, so its a safe bet that it was hit pretty
hard too.

Since the people from Magdelena Outfitters are posting about needs in Lopez Mateos on another site, perhaps they can be of use for more information.

Plastic sheeting, duct tape and tarps...what a great bit of info Mike. We are also taking a generator, extension cords, two plug-in standing a/c
units, cans of gas and a hefty chainsaw for downed trees. Have to assume any of electronics have been ruined....that is, if we still have a house
standing....mid Oasis.

I think that may be more about the lack of Nomads in the town. Mulege and Loreto are packed with Nomads. My guess. Fingers crossed.

Yea, San Ignacio is inland and not subject to flooding. Or is it? The area has probably lost power.

Actually, in a heavy rain, I think the town might fill like a bath tub. Not that I wish that on them.
