First day of hurricane season and..............
http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/?index_region=ep
Although it is no threat to Baja, it does seem a little early to start.
Here we go!

I do not like what I am seeing for sea surface temperatures this time round. That and a skewed accentuation of the Coriolis effect.
Translated: Higher sea temperatures, and more clockwise curling effect in hurricane tracks.
Now we're in a period of maximum solar flare activity.
Maybe Butte Montana wouldn't be a bad hideout until December

The eastern Pacific hurricane season begins on 15 May each year and according to National Hurricane Center (NHC) records, Aletta was the first storm
to form before the official start of the season since 1996, when a tropical storm formed on 13 May.

Since I grew up there I can guaranty that it is not a safe place to hide unless you really like cold weather. The last 3 years I lived there the first
snow of the year was on Memorial day and the last was on July 4th. Spring, summer and fall were sandwiched between.

The eagle and bat rays woke me up with their acrobatic antics a month ago and the locals say "Here come the big wet early hurricanes".
I'm (almost) ready.

Your earlier prognostication (about a month ago) was RIGHT ON (about the earlier hurricane season).
Helps to commune with nature as much as you do, George!

Dillon Montana, 3 July, 1961 Brother left motel window open, Woke up to several inches of snow on the floor. I hope the rays, the sea surface charts
and DavidE are all wrong about this. The poor Mexicans do not need to be hammered any more than they have.

The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.

Mexicans being hammered? This is a DESERT that just got a trickle of rain last fall after 7 years without rain. The Mexicans and everyone else are
begging for wet storms. No storms for us this year means no crops for us next year.

Rain is fine. Floods that wash away houses, roads, crops, and carry off top soil isn't.
"The poor Mexicans do not need to be hammered any more than they have."
The subject thread is about hurricanes, but I guess I erred in not providing proper caveats, footnotes, and references.

Maybe it's my fault. Much of Baja Sur gets little rain that isn't part of a storm system (tropical storms, depressions, hurricanes, etc). Thankfully
we get brushed by a lot of systems that deliver rain but hardly any wind; not because they have no wind power but because they are broad, hold lots of
water and the wild wind eye passes out to sea doing little wind damage.

Osprey, one of my "pets" for some reason is the Sierra de La Laguna. I wish there was a way to create a dam somewhere where it wouldn't do a lot of
environmental damage and quell the insane amount of "lost" fresh water that roars into the sea causing little benefit and lots of human and
environmental misery. Sometimes, mother nature does not know best. Just imagine what a properly built earthen dam would do for Mulege. Sure it would
be dry some years but it many others allow for better survivability for critters and humans alike.
Last fall when it rained hard near Sta Rosalia the cattle acted like camels sucking up water. They munched on the green grass, and produced esterico,
manure. A second rain caused the areas around the mud holes to go nuts.
I guess I've seen too much hardship down here. Where a storm rolls through, kills, chickens, and gardens, roofs leak and collapse, beds get soaked,
and people are forced to live outside with the mosquitoes. Cars and pickups get mired up to the axles and genuine hardship results. In the old days,
venado and cordoniz were at least available but not now. "Lo siento no hay trabajo ahora" is the result of the pass through of a storm.
I pray for lots of gentle rain. Stupid me, I'll pick out a cardón near the highway and after a good rain, sprinkle some 15-15-15 fertilizer around it,
dump ten or fifteen gallons of service water afterwards and then for a few months watch the action! Maybe I have too soft a heart. Baja California can
be utterly brutal to living things.

"the mexicans and everyone else" ARE NOT begging for wet storms down here where we live in mulege...let me make this clear; we ARE NOT begging for wet
storms....you might want to check out all the abandoned houses where people down here in our little town USED to live....now they are all jammed
together in a government built housing development south of town where many of them have no way to actually GET to town as their vehicle was destroyed
in THE LAST wet storm in october..lots of mexican lives were devastated as we experienced the fourth chubasco in seven years...no more wet storms, por
favor!

Okay, SOME MEXICANS ARE BEGGING FOR WET STORMS, not your Mulege Mexicans, those southern desert farmers who rely on the rain to keep the aquifers and
the wells from drying up. Maybe you want to count the abandoned ranchos all up and down the peninsula while I go see the poor and impoverished in your
area ---- comeon, go fight with somebody else.
