Dont hurricane remnants often end up being increased moisture for the drought-striken Western US?
We could use the rains around here.

Amanda is giving us nice summer weather here in Asuncion...calmed the wind and raised the air temps and will push warmer water up too. I must say I
brushed her off as being one of those pesty little early storms that usually just go west but it seems she is a big girl now.
"Based on the current intensity of the system, Amanda is the second
strongest May hurricane in the eastern Pacific basin on record,
behind Hurricane Adolph in 2001."

Amanda is now the strongest May hurricane on record in the eastern
Pacific basin during the satellite era. If Amanda were to reach an
intensity of 140 kt, it would become the earliest category 5
hurricane on record, beating out Hurricane Ava of 1973.
The above from eebmike.com
Amanda is expected to peter out off shore.
Looks like olas grandes for us in the next few days, but probably not the much needed rain. Weather report for the tip calls for clouds and 20% chance
of rain. That usually means we won't get nary a drop.
No b-tchin\' in the Baja.

While some rain would be nice, I sure hope if it is a Cat 5 it does peter out off shore.
Enjoy the surf!

Dr. Jeff Master's blog on wunderground.com says that she will take a northerly turn, but encounter cooler waters and a strong wind shear that will
pretty much take her apart by end of this week, no danger to landfall.
However, Amanda is a direct result of the now-present El Nino that will be in place for the rest of the season, which means warmer than usual and
farther north water temps, and probably more frequent and intense tropical activity... if I was a full-timer, i'd get my larder stocked and an evac
plan in place. Gonna make for a long, wet summer; and as recent history shows, you can run but you can't hide. I'm not trying to be Chicken Little,
but the science is there.... get your ''6 - P's'' in place.
I don't have a BUCKET LIST, but I do have a F***- IT LIST a mile long!
