Windyty has it just passing by now with winds out of the north west at 41 kts and a total of 6.1 inches of rain so far. I do believe that the worst of
it may have passed. Here's hoping. Thanks for the in person reports .Sorry you always have to be the hurricane man, but you do a terrific job. Glad to
have you there. Be there Friday Saturday roads permitting...

Hope all is well and the rain in Baja has more benefits than damage.

I'm seeing some Facebook pictures of Mulege looking at the big bridge. Maybe three feet less than Odile. Let's see. We had nine feet in the house back
then. Six feet deep this time?
We are much, much better prepared this time. Everything is stored on high ground and the window and door protections I built look like Hitler's
bunker.
Hope springs eternal.

Here on the west coast at San Juanico we had steady rains from mid-day onwards, sometimes it became a driving downpour. We also had breezy winds that
occasionally became stiff, tropical storm winds. We have more water this time than when TS Blanca came through in June, 2015. I have a small,
temporary pond that begins right at my front door, I hope it evaporates soon. The winds have subsided.
The region sorely needed the rain. I hope everyone stayed dry and safe.

Good morning All. Hope everyone is okay and without damage.
Too dark to assess any damage but I think I came out okay. I'm a little surprised the Excede dish survived. I went to bed to read awhile last night
around 9:30 when the winds were still quiet. That didn't last long and the wind from the back side of Newton arrived with gusto but very little rain.
I wasn't very concerned until I heard a huge noise and saw the wind had hit 40mph or better. I looked thru the windows with a flash light and couldn't
see anything out of place. I looked at my neighbors roof the best I could and it was fine. I scanned his front yard and his 21' Parker is now resting
(on the trailer) on the bulk head. Missed his stairs by inches. I'm pretty sure there is no damage and will be able to pull it off the bulkhead
without a problem. Photos after sunrise Tom. Haven't seen my boat house doors or the beach yet. I'm sure our road in is not passable and I will take
the Polaris out to look today or tomorrow.

That satellite photo above really demonstrates how we at the heel of the peninsula really stick out into the ocean and storms often just graze our
shores with the outer bands..like fog too...sticking out seems to be a good thing for us! And thank goodness for cooler ocean temps as storms get
tempted across to the other side attracted by the heat.
Newton is a classic storm...locals are always warning...hurricanes can whip up fast and accelerate all of a sudden...and stall and dump alot of
water...or get sucked over to the other side between Todos Santos & Mag Bay. |

While Russ had this yesterday afternoon, this was the conditions on the pacside at Bahia Asuncion at sunset.
and from my back door
and the laundry report
no rain...but it did blow about 25 knots last night.
Now for some road reports please...and I sure hope Mulege and San Ignacio didnt have too much flooding. Clean up time for many.
