Weather?
We've had a fantastic light show this morning and...... some hard rain too. In fact another one just hit here. These storm cells seem to push thru
fast and may give the ground time to soak it up a little.
Pitayas!

Overcast and windy here this morning
Looks like rain but none has hit the ground yet.
From the sat maps, looks like feeder bands from John.

Meany, It was dark when I first posted. Since I've had to secure the patio furniture, do a little mopping and feed the dog 
We've had heavy enough rain to shut down the internet so haven't been able to post photos. Since I took the photos the rain has been pretty consistent
and heavy at times with major thunder boomers & lightning.

there were some black clouds your way when I looked west, at the end of the afternoon yesterday and it looked like it was pouring near Asuncion when I
looked north. We had not a drop of rain. Much to my chagrin cause I wanted a break from watering plants !

the river in town is getting higher...lots of water in the mountains

our little rain last evening only dampened the ground a teeny bit...not enough to water the plants...darn...maybe today? It's quite humid and partly
cloudy with a big swell still pounding in...around 8-9' now and supposed to get bigger tomorrow as John pushes his waves to the coast....the fishermen
still cant get out to dive for caracol...most boats are still on the beach.

I'm doing a rain-dance.
Actually, I'm just walking, but it looks like a rain-dance.

It's been raining hard here in Buena Vista since 4:30 am. Some wind but not bad. Heavy down pours at times. Haven't gotten into Los Barriles yet,
every time we start to leave we get another heavy down pour. Plants are loving it!!!

Thanks Russ, any idea on total rainfall since June? Hoping for a green Baja Sur when we get to the backcountry Dec-April.

It really varies a lot and Chivato is usually on the low end. If we got 4", just a guess, maybe Mulege would have gotten 6+" and the interior double
that.

Well, if you want to see a green desert you won't believe the way the desert looks this year as it is greener than I have seen it even following
Jimena or John. Every bush that flowers in wet years is totally covered in blooms, grass is shin high along side the road, trees look fuller than I
have ever seen them, and the Cardon cactus is so swollen that you can almost not see the pleats. Dragon flies have been really abundant and
hopefully eating all the mosquitos, butterflies are so think you have to stop and clean your windshield frequently, and the cows have sort of a
contented look as they slowly chew their cud after dining on the roadside grass.

Thats too funny Dennis. I hope you are getting around a little better each day.
No rain in Oxnard, but it looks like it could at any second.

Is all of this coming from John the Hurricane. it is hard looking at the National Huricane maps and seeing who is really getting what. Maybe be we in
Punta Banda will get a few drops. It is good to see you southerners getting some rain. Ha whistling Dixie

More clouds today. Storm from the other side but appears, for now, to be loosing it's strength as it crosses the SOC. No rain yet but lightning &
thunder boomers.
