first storm of the year
tropical depression 1E formed off acapulco yesterday. winds are light at this time. let's all cross our fingers for a spectacular hurricane season as
last years was the weakest in a decade or more.
by spectacular i mean that the storms will stay out to sea so that the damage to life and limb is minimal. but spectacular also means weeks of pumping
hurricane swell. 
spring has been great, let's hope summer comes through....

be careful of what you wish. we here in Mulege as in most areas of Baja sur depend on these storms to replenish our underground water. if it were not
for the storms most of what we all enjoy here would not exist. we get very
little damage from these storms other than where people build houses right on the river in the flood plane. but they are asking for trouble. the
benefits way out way the problems.

bruce-
i realize the rain is necessary. that's what i meant by the storms staying offshore. in my mind i hoped you'd get your rain while the folks on the
pacific would not get BLASTED by direct hits.

Let's hope it holds off just a bit. My wife flew to Mazatlan this AM to help crew a friend's 50 foot cat,'Vamanos', to Ensenada via Cabo & Bahia

yes woody but if they stay offshore we wont get any rain. what we all need to do is build our houses to stand op to the environment that we live in.
stay out of the flood planes and buy insurance. people from the U.S. and other countries are used to the government protecting them in the way of
building codes and inspections and the such. Here in Mexico we have more freedom to Make our own mistakes. and then we need to learn to live with the
consequences. up there some one is always responsible and there is always someone to sue when your house gos rolling down a cliff and into the sea.
all I'm saying is think and do a lot of research before you buy or build. and bring on the storms please I am ready.

What part of the Santa Rosalia/Mulege River floods and when did this last happen. I see places along the River such as The Oasis, and others. Are
they subject to flooding? Where is the flood plain?

yes they get there feet wet in these little floods that we have had in the past twenty to thirty years. but when the big one comes normaley every 30
years we are over due, most of downtown Mulege will get water and along the river will be gone.

Sounds like a pretty accurate appraisal to me, Bruce. And it will happen again.
