Thanks Tony! A month or two after Miriam and John hit Mulege, my wife and I got stuck at the El Morro in SR for two days. Another TS came in and blew
out the bridge near the prison, and a couple vados to the north of town. Stranded in an ocean front room for two days, in a wild storm, with a
beautiful woman, I somehow survived the ordeal!

No need to panic or evacuate. Power supposed to be restored by tomorrow on Punta Banda, according to CFE. Apparently 4 -6 poles down, one with a
major transformer which needed to be rebuilt.
Road from Manadero to La Bufadora open but muddy.

The Bufadora road from Maneadero is open. Use with extreme caution as there are potholes that will ruin your day.
The bridge by Martinez farms is three feet above water and that water is a raging river. Yesterday AM it was over the top.
Some of the side roads going up the hills into Cantú are torn apart...others passable.
Lots of building damage. Sharky's took a big hit.
It's starting to rain again but, lightly and without the wind.
For me....life is good. For some others....not so good. Tomorrow we'll start the process.

Storm Watch
We just had a downpour for about 30 minutes in Guerrero Negro, just what we need!! Talked to some people in the bar who were headed North today.
Came from La Ventana and had no idea of the problems. Braved Laguna Chapala before it was too bad but could not get into Catavina. The southern
arroyo was raging. By the time they turned around got back south, they had to wait three hours at Laguna Chapala for a chance to cross. When several
cars passed in three to four feet water successfully, they braved it and made it back here to Mallarimos. Enrique the owner of Mallarimos says that
when we see a bus come south we will know it is safe to head north, until then stay put.

Yeah, I can see the lights back on across the bay from where I'm visiting. Welcome back, Punta Banda!
I drove through town on Tuesday and it was like Ensenada was...Venice or something.

Vacation's over.  Now we can get back to normal.
Is there anybody I haven't called an A-Hole lately? Any volunteers?

Well, I have always felt unwelcome here because you have never included me in your rantings.

An unforgivable oversight, Larry. Sorry about that.
OK...You're an A-Hole. Whatever it takes to keep a cohesive bond between Nomads.
