Hard Rain now 2:15. curious that the surface wind is still out of the NNE. I have my East facing windows wide open still.
It appears the mountains are holding it on the Pacific side for now as it appears the center has flattened out some.

From Jeff Masters Wunder Blog:
Hurricane Paul put on an impressive burst of rapid intensification on Monday, topping out as a Category 3 hurricane with 120 mph winds at 2 pm PDT on
Monday. Paul has weakened some this morning, due to high wind shear of 30 knots, but remains a potent Category 2 hurricane with 105 mph winds as it
heads towards landfall this afternoon on the Baja Mexico coast. The 3006-passenger cruise ship Carnival Splendor made a daring run southeastwards
along the Baja coast in front of Hurricane Paul, and encountered some very heavy weather this morning. At 2 am PDT, the vessel reported sustained
winds of 54 mph and hail in a heavy squall located about 160 miles northeast of Paul's eye. Four hours later, at 6 am PDT, the ship was still
measuring 54 mph winds, at point about 140 miles east of the eye and 40 miles northwest of the Cabo San Lucas on the southern tip of the Baja
Peninsula. The winds were measured on top of the ship, at an altitude more than 100 feet above the standard 10 meter (32.8') altitude used to report
winds. If you know of a passenger who was on the ship, tell them to upload a wunderphoto and a report of what is was like! The view from the deck
webcam shows that not too many passengers were out taking wunderphotos this morning, though.
Since the region of coast where Paul will hit is very sparsely populated, heavy rains will be the main threat from the storm. Cabo San Lucas has
picked up 2.23" of rain from Paul as of 7 am PDT this morning, and San Jose Del Cabo picked up 2.00". Neither city is expected to get tropical
storm-force winds from Paul, according to the latest wind probability forecast from NHC. Paul's formation brings this year's tally in the Eastern
Pacific to 16 named storms, 10 hurricanes, and 5 major hurricanes. An average Eastern Pacific season has 15 named storms, 8 hurricanes, and 3 major
hurricanes.
When the way comes to an end, then change. Having changed, you pass through.

Paul has the earmarks of dispensing lots of moisture in the mountains directly west of the Mulege area.
If I was along that Rio, I would have evacuated by now; lock, stock and barrel.

The latest NWS discussion reports that Paul has slowed "significantly" and will continue to slow further.
It does seem hard to fathom that Paul will make the predicted hard left to the west, but either way NWS says it will be on the peninsula for at least
24 to 36 hours and that doesn't bode well for Mulege or other vulnerable locations.

I did not think we had much wind as we were sitting on the front porch and enjoying a c-cktail while watching the waves hit the beach at Chivato. I
think I did not realize how much the wind was blowing until I went off of the porch where the Hurricane Cloth is . I was afraid that since we
mounted this stuff, that we might never get to try it out but I now know that it works very, very well.

From the NOAA Goes satellite at 3PM, PDT: this storm did not turn, sorta like a couple other storms prior that didn't get the message either.
Looks like remmanent center goes over Bahia Conception. Hope it keeps moving fast for all concerned. Very concerned for flash flooding along the
river now.
I talked with contractor Alfredo in Mulege at 1PM, PDT. He was not too concerned at the time. Will try to reach him later.

we will see. power is apparently out on the coast between Abreojos and Asuncion but an hour or so ago it was pouring in Abreojos. Minor flooding
Locals felt there was no doubt that the road would wash out if it continued.

Thanks for all the reports! Hoping to hear from anyone downtown Mulege. I just hope Paul is as not as bad as John.

Well, once again I am asking for information about Mulege. I cannot believe another hurricane just went right over. Is Mulege Mike still online?

Paul is worse. John, at least, was an apostle.
