For those planning on heading down to work on their damages from Odile, PLEASE pay attention to Tropical Storm Polo; it is due to become at least a
CAT 1 in the next 2 days (by Wednesday 9/19) and is setting course towards Baja. Yogi's still right; "it ain't over 'till it's over''... more to
come, don't get caught with your proverbial pants down in another one. Use judgment and be patient.

It would seem that the bus station should have road information at least for the main roads.

Wow another one on its way!
Just to give you a visual on the power of the wind on the surf this fellow did an excellent job of capturing it on video. The size of the waves
before the hurricane arrives.

We're not sure about our travel plans as well. I'm seriously thinking Vizcaino might not have gasoline.

I heard third hand that Hwy 1 is closed at Viscaino. But as always things can change rapidly. Crews usually seem to get the road passable within a few
days. Lots of new bridges have been built on 1 over the past few years. I hope they all survive. Time will tell and only direct reports can be trusted
right now.
No b-tchin\' in the Baja.

If no gas in Vizcaino, there are three stations in GN, plus the one in Jesus Maria. If going south, the next station is San Ignacio.

Keep in mind that Pemex stations in Baja Sur get their supply from La Paz.. So GN and Vizcaino may be very limited, even if they had power to pump..

Exactly. Last reliable would be El Rosario assuming people weren't stocking up and reselling further south. I hope there is some sort of rationing.
Would love to hear from Antonio.

Don't forget how the projected track for Odile changed big time - from heading NNW (away from land), to N, then NE right downtown.

Keep in mind that mechanics of a hurricane dictate a cooling of the ocean temp once a 'big one' has passed over; HOPEFULLY that will have cause/effect
on slowing/lessening Polo, just hoping. And Shari, you should have at least a good 4-day window to get back home. Take care, gal. Yo mama din't
