Fri. 9/18/09 Chubasco in Chivato
Very interesting morning here in Punta Chivato. I got up at 5 AM to a really spectacular light show. Tried to get a photo of a flash but even taking
nearly 40 pics I missed a good shot. Then as the sun started to rise cloud was doing all kinds of nice changes. It was 80º calm winds and the water
was oil slick. We watched the clouds move in. Around 8 we watched a squall line move in and everyone headed home to batten down their homes. So for
the next 45 minutes we had 35 mph ESE winds gusting to 45 mph. Of course some of the roofing that hasn’t been picked up took flight once again. And
it’s raining lightly too. 9 AM and the sky is lightening up a bit and I have internet again. Now almost 9:30 and I'm waiting on photo bucket to
upload. Winds still around 30mph almost blue skies again. 83º ~ 87% hum.
Only attempt to get lightning I saved. You can just see the flash.
A few minutes later and a wider shot of the cloud
After sunrise and the storm has moved in over us
Looking South.. Clouds over Mulege
Just as the wind hit and we all scrambled to button up our homes.... again
I spent the next 45 minutes inside out of the rain and wind.
After most of the rain stopped you can see the surf's up
Skies are clearing
Behind my house.
Looking SW
Overhead
Almost 10
All done

You haven't been wanting for excitement lately, have you, Russ. Your life in the wilds down there makes mine seem pretty dull.
Hang in there, buddy.

Nice shots Russ.....Hard to out guess those strong squals. Usually the Frigate Birds know. Usually it plays out if there are no birds of any kind, you
can expect a harder blow! Good luck with the roofs. ++C++

Morning Russ,
Thanks for reminding me of what I am missing in PC. I was suppose to be there in Oct but now I can't make it till Nov. I sold my house (21 yrs) so I'm
in the process of moving and my exit date is Oct 1.....damn.....Keep the pic's coming. I found out from Pedro that I only lost one small piece of roof
panel on my house. Hopefully, Reyes was able to replace it this week. Take care amigo......bob
Happy Trails....

Bob, Reyes had coffee here this morning and mentioned he was working on your roof. Probably didn't get too far cuz the wind hasn't dropped much below
15 mph all day and is hanging around 20. In this breeze lamina and bugs blow away.

This has turned out to be one exceptionally weird day! 1st the chubasco and the wind never got back into a normal pattern then we had some scattered
clouds an wind in the high teens to mid 20's. Now it appears Marty has weakened and is heading towards us. The forecast tracks and models I look at
show Marty going either NW or W but the satellite loop shows a totally different reality. We're getting thunder now and it's cloudy.
"THE TRACKFORECAST PHILOSOPHY REMAINS UNCHANGED. MARTY WILL TURN TOWARD THEWEST-NORTHWEST AND EVENTUALLY TOWARD THE WEST PRIOR TO DISSIPATIONAS IT
FEELS THE INFLUENCE OF THE LOW-LEVEL RIDGE TO ITS NORTH."

The clouds are really dark over Mulege now. It appears to be raining in the mountains. Now lots of lightening and thunder

Here what the Sat showed awhile ago. Those clouds are moving towards us. I haven't gotten the imaging to work for an hour. I think I'll loose internet
soon too if the clouds thicken up much more. later...

Mulege is still cloudy but to the West it seems to be clearing some. Wind has changed from E to SE and dropped to around 5 to 10 mph. It is much
cooler and feels great.
This pic is of the mountains behind Mulege:
Wind now SSE
Sorry, I mess that up. The photo is of the skyline behind Mulege the "mountains" are the hills behind Punta Chivato.

All the panic I went through yesterday was a bunch of $$$t. I apologize to any one I cause undue worry. I'll try to be less excitable in the future. I
think I must have lost all confidence in those projected path forecasts after Jimena.
"MARTY IS BEING DOWNGRADED TO A 30-KNOT TROPICAL
DEPRESSION AT THIS TIME"
So here is what's left of Marty:
