Dark and light off and on and spatters of hard rain showers still going on in Lopez.
San Nicolas called and said the arroyo flooded, road may be out. Lots of rain and water there. Said the water is going down now. Don't know about
any houses, etc.

Hard to believe that van made it through. Must have taken off the fan belt.

I'll say!!!! It's hard for me to believe that anyone would even try to cross THAT, knowing that in a few hours it will probably be over with.

Mulege electric just came back on. It poured heavily all night, but the river did not rise. Lots of thunder and lightning, strong gusts, but looks
like little or no damage. Sun is out and the river road is drying fast. I have not been into town to see if the culvert bridge survived.
Sorry to hear of your loss Mula and others that received damage.

you all realize that the intake air USUALLY gets pulled in right above the fan/radiator, right? water in your engine intake = death of the vehicle!

Electrics just now back on in Loma Azul, Mulege.
Drove in to town; dead dog floating down-river. Did not check on the river culvert/"road".
Very tired. Much to do.
Sympathies to San Nicolas residents.
Stay safe, everyone.

I'm sure that's correct. I was in Army school for learning how to drive most everything they had at the time, and we covered a lot of circumstances,
including driving under water wearing wetsuits.
All of the intake and exhaust was above water and we had to disconnect the fan so it wouldn't be like a Dodge blender throwing water everywhere.
That was fun.
Another fun segment was having to winch a vehicle up the face of a cliff without killing ourselves. I guess I did good. I'm still here.

IN A NUTSHELL= DAMAGE TO AT LEAST 3 SPOTS ON HIGHWAY 1 .... three accidents and 6 people hurt.
La Paz, Baja California Sur (BCS). Las lluvias registradas durante la madrugada de este domingo en el norte de Baja California Sur, por la depresión
tropical Ivo, ocasionaron al menos tres cortes carreteros interrumpiendo la comunicación con el resto del estado.
La Secretaría de Comunicaciones y Transportes (SCT) confirmó que los tramos dañados de la carretera transpeninsular son en el kilómetro 87, 111 y 82,
en la zona del municipio de Loreto, 360 kilómetros al norte de La Paz.
Informó que personal de la dependencia ya se encuentra trabajando en los puntos afectados para restablecer la comunicación y al mismo tiempo
inspeccionando toda la zona para detectar otros daños.
La Policía Federal alertó a la población para que evite transitar por esta zona, donde ya se registraron percances automovilísticos.
De acuerdo con Protección Civil de Loreto, en los tramos afectados han ocurrido tres accidentes automovilísticos con un saldo de seis personas
lesionadas, dos de ellas de gravedad.
Según el reporte más reciente del Servicio Meteorológico Nacional (SMN), Ivo se desplaza sobre aguas de menor temperatura por lo que seguirá
debilitándose.
No obstante, advierte sobre el potencial de lluvias fuertes a intensas, de 20 hasta 150 milímetros por sus desprendimientos nubosos.
El sistema, que se localiza a 225 kilómetros al suroeste de Punta Abreojos, seguirá afectando la costa occidental de BCS, el sur de Sonora y note de
Sinaloa en las siguientes horas.

DENNIS, we are glad you are "still here"...

Much better with a diesel engine than a gas one.....no engine electrical to short out just need to worry about the air intake. Jim

From what I'm reading here, Loreto has been hit particularly hard, with 200 homes flooded and 400 people evacuated.

and La Bocana is also getting slammed .... strong winds that are non-stop and rain rain rain.
These were taken just a little while ago - looking towards the baseball fields (there was actually supposed to be a big game today between Asuncion
and la Bocana!)

Don't tell me they ran there from their
corral in San Nicolas. Glad all is well with you.
