BIGGEST STORM IN A LONG TIME ...road washout PROBLEMS HERE
HOLY MOLEY...since last night it has rained more than we get in a couple years here....at the moment it is blowing 30 mph or more and raining super
hard....all the windows are leaking with the force of the wind..our house has a lake in it! The roads are flooded and this will wreak havok on the
roads into here and the highways and arroyos...it's a deluge amigos. We have guests from BOLA stranded here,but I brought them a bunch of DVD's and
baking and they are hunkered down at the beach house. Any news on the arroyos on the highways????? Sirenita says the water in guerrero Negro streets
is up to the doors of the cars...it's a real disaster zone at the moment....how is everyone else doing?

Downtown Rosarito Under Water
Shari,
I drove into town today to buy dog food - the main boulevard, Benito Juarez (aren't all Mexican towns' main boulevards named Benito Juarez?), was
under water - not wanting to flood my engine, I had to detour around and out.
The U.S. TV news is reporting flooding and problems in the recent burn areas in San Diego and Malibu.
This system is supposed to pass in the next twelve hours, but, is this a predictor for December and January? Ay, yi, yi.

NO MANCHES...NO ME DIGAS!!! Yes our Benito Juarez is under water too...winds have increased to 40 knots at least and rain is outrageous, hopefully
this is the worst of it. The roads will definately be washed out. Good thing I have a big bottle of rum!

There's a saying in Texas that droughts of epic proportions are followed by floods of biblical proportions. Two or three years of drought here was
followed this year with almost 50 inches of rain! While I don't like the damage it causes, Baja was looking pretty parched in August.
