I found some Whiskey. I feel better all ready.

I'll thank you very much, as we are going to need it. Hurricane Jimena is going to hit us tomorrow night.

Santiago, just ignore Dennis. The more stars he gets, the crankier he gets.
But if you are still in that house by the arroyo in the picture you posted a couple of weeks ago, it is time for you to "vamoose".
How's that for a Spanish lesson?

It rained in La Paz this afternoon for about 30 minutes. It was the strongest rain i have ever seen in my life. Totally overwhelmed the sewer system
and my system is pretty big, it almost flooded the house. Street was a mess. The last time i saw the streets like that it took several hours of steady
rain.
I am more worried about the rain than the wind.

The afternoon rain in La Paz has been more a thunderstorm (with a few thunders in the distance) )than the hurricane itself. Hurricane rain with
cloud bands and wind should start only in the morning. Let's hope it does not stall in front of Todos Santos like Juliette in 2001. That was 3 days
of heavy rain with a total of 450 mm in La Paz and 650 in Los Cabos area.

We have some big very scary looking clouds coming....but i didnt see them on the satellite...whoa...freaky.
Just a reminder...we have had some interesting chats today in the chat default room. It was neat to hear from people on site in the cape area...we'll
do it again tomorrow...it will be interesting for sure.
We have been securing houses for the worst here and stocking up on water, gas, candles, beer and food...just in case.

Creo lo mismo de Sr. Jesse.

Its the water in Mulege because of the arroyos to the west of the rivervalley.
My house has numerous huge windows, gobs of glass.
All windows were completely shattered by floodwaters of H. John, aluminum frames ripped from the walls of the house from the force of water as it
exited the house as the flood receeded-- the damage was done from the inside out by the water pressure!! There was also about a foot of mud inside
the house-- all this because I closed the house tight.
T.S. Julio I opened all the windows and some screens, tied open doors that would shut by water pressure. No broken glass, no torn screens and only 3
inches of mud.
I figured that since I couldn't stop the river from coming in, well why fight it? Like an unwanted houseguest I made it as easy to leave as it was to
get in.
This time there may be more rain than in John and more direct wind damage, but... here we go!

The 8 PDT report seems to show Jimena turning a little more to the east---maybe, but the Hurricane Watch area has been extended further north on both
coasts.
It does seem to be not quite as strong, but still VERY dangerous---155 down to 135 mph winds.
While we are glad we have the wood ready and arrangements made, we are more worried about all the people.
Stay safe everyone
