Take care, Coastal Folks. It's not over for you yet. Be careful out there.

News from Ignacio Springs-- their river did not flood!

Ivo damage in Loreto


Calle Madera in Loreto this morning. Two other roads, two houses, several vehicles, and two groves of palms and bamboo are gone from this stretch of Arroyo San Telmo. Ivo wasn't anywhere near the size and power of Paul last October, but the enormous amount of water dumped in such a very short time caused much worse damage.



Going south on Hwy 1 at the arroyo just north of Nopoló. About 8 AM. The work had started a half hour earlier.



Looking south across the gap as dirt is being dozed in.



Looking north across the gap as dirt is being dozed in.



The gap.



1st cars through, 2.5 hours to plug that gaping hole. They know how to land on their feet down here.




Certainty is the child of ignorance, knowledge is the mother of doubt. Question everything!

tehag, those photos are photo journalism-quality. Thank you.

Just heard from a friend in Loreto that town (or at least she) is without water for about 5 days.

Also she reports that the road to San Javier is not passable and medical assistance up there is requested. Darn!

I'm so glad Ivo gave Mulege a miss. Pure Luck this time. I've too many years here and horrible first-hand experience with the Mulege floods not to be concerned. Those who stayed in their homes on the river are fools, in my not humble-but very experienced opinion. They are Lucky Fools. Nonetheless I'll never close my door to anyone in need, whether they know they're in need or not.

How in the world could anyone think keeping people informed is harassment? Especially when one owns property and is not in the place where the storm hits, every accurate report is appreciated, as are the warnings based on previous experience, and you both know what can and has happened in Mulege when the big rains come. Keep on reporting and warning when the rains head you way. Then it is up to the listener to make their own decisions, but I still can't believe anyone would see it as harassment. Ni modo

IMHO, the only time it is not appreciated is when for the sake of drama, the information is exaggerated and I sure don't see any of that from what you two have reported.

I'll find out tomorrow if Ivo got far enough north to take out that new bridge near Gonzaga.

There is always hope.
