bump for the bush pilots.
Getting commodities to those who need them is the first priority. Me buying tarps and duct tape and shipping them to the appropriate person for
transport is only lining the coffers of UPS.
(being the practical gal that I am) I'll pay for a bunch of bleach and toilet paper if someone....... maybe a bush pilot or their family... will buy
them at their local bigbox store and then hook up with the transportation network.
This seems to be a pretty efficient way for those who are not able to participate physically with relief effors to directly contribute.
We'll still be watching the donations pages also.

Photos of parts of Orchard, Oasis & Jorge's parks
Rick has some new photos up on his real estate site taken earlier today:

Beachgirl- your house is still there, lotsa mud.
Looks like our washroom & carport and Jimmie Christopher's shop are getting together for a scrambled brick omelet, but Jimmie's house may be
complete.
There are other's properties shown, not all.
Oasis Clubhouse is some kind of wreck for one.
I see various posts regarding Jimmie Christopher BTW. He has a lot on his plate right now. I'm sure we will hear from him when he gets some things
handled. Till then lets see what we can do to get things moving.

Paulina, these are my humble observations: the usual clouds passing south of Baja stream east to west, or lazily clockwise. When they start to
organize and turn about their center in a counterclockwise motion, they become a cyclone.
Counterclockwise is abnormal and the center of that motion marks the cyclone, regardless of where the windy/rainy convection ends up (usually
eastward).
If you look carefully at the satellite photos of Jimena, you will see dim clouds rotating counterclockwise, with the center (not really a distinct
center) right now moving southwestwardly from the Mulege area. That is what the NWS is calling Jimena--not the spill-off convection that attacked the
state of Sonora.
Focus on that counterclockwise cloud movement.

i am not sure where to put this....if the strips nearest ground zero are closed...BBP can rendevous here in Asuncion and I can somehow get a truck and
we can move the supplies to Mulege, San Ignacio..wherever...let me know if this is an option....also lots of room here for pilots to stay...on the
house of course.

What about the strip at San Ignacio, it is high enough that it should be out of the water.

I just heard from Juanita from Casa Leree in san ignacio...the highway is now passable all the way to la paz and the air strip at san ignacio is fine.
We can get the military to pick up and deliver relief supplies to the most in need.
No loss of life in san ignacio but highest flooding since 1959 and lots of damage...the new campground palapas petates are gone...so sad...no report
yet on ignacio springs...no one can get to it to take photos....the village is still cut off from the highway but stores are open and everyone is
OK....they do not need relief.

I just got pictures from Santa Rosalia and will post them on Photobucket. It is estimated that approximately 40% of the buildings are either gone or
wiped out and will need major renovation. There were over 90 cars either washed out to sea or washed into major pileups. It was estimated that at
least 3 feet of water washed down the mainstreet and it was even worse on the arroyo 4 lane road that goes up the south side of town towards the phone
company. The wells at Palo Verde were completely destroyed (which is where the drinking water for Palo Verde, San Bruno, San Lucas, and Santa Rosalia
come from. They will have to drill new wells and replace a lot of water line. This could take upwards of 2-3 months, so drinking water will be a
critical shortage for quite some time. Electricity was back on in Santa Rosalia as of around 11 a.m. yesterday. The roads in and out of town are a
major disaster but they have already started cleanup. The bridge south of town was knocked out when both ramps were destroyed. The bridge is
actually in good shape since it was installed on pilings.

logistically the planes need to be close to fuel.
for now that means GN as a source if the military will release theirs for relief which i imagine Jack will get done. Normally the only fuel for GA is
San Felipe or Loreto on the peninsula between those locales. GN stopped selling to GA years ago.
They will clear the rocks and debris from paved palo verde 10 miles south of Mulege and that will be the best base until Loreto reopens.
thx for everyone's efforts here.
i got some email updates from Mulege this morning and will forward.
i'd like to hear how the most eastern river homes fared?
i assume the Jungle got wiped out?
