I think you guys have different ideas what "take down" means, and that's where the confusion lies.

Cabo = Baja?


An idiot weather reporter on a local channel was showing the same storm track that is shown on this thread. She was reporting that Cabo San Lucas will probably not be impacted too severely, because the storm will come ashore further north along the Cabo coastline.



If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

I saw a video of La Paz - major flooding in the streets.

"Major" is probably an exaggeration-- La Paz streets are its storm drain system and this happens every time there's a cloudburst.

Always pains my heart to see all that fresh water running down into the bay, but it does kind of flush things clean.


Right you are, Lencho. The street in front of my house was a river for a while as I left, but by the time I got home a couple of hours later was full of mud as the water had receded. I had to cross an arroyo to get to where I was going and had sort of anticipated that I might not be able to get there only to find a small bit of water running.
It seems that we might be spared the worse from Hilary as we have overcast clouds at the moment and only a bit of wind...but that could change as the day progresses. I definitely welcome the overcast conditions as I've been suffering from the heat after being in the Pacific Northwest for the past ten years and am very slowly acclimating again.




There most certainly is but one side to every story: the TRUTH. Variations of it are nothing but lies.

Latest satellite photo of Hillary


Hillary seems to be loosing strength and organization over the cooler water. Hopefully it won’t be as bad as was first thought.

It seems to be raining as far north across Baja as about 100Km south of San Ignacio. The rain at the coasts is generally lite.

L,

It usually gets “interesting” after the monsoon starts. This was the start. The next 6 weeks will be interesting and the next 10 weeks could be interesting!

The CFE power seems to be generally off around Cerritos. Cell service might be down as well.

Both are based on the fact that the tower lights usually visible are out and the Diamante Resort is reporting a complete power outage. Several cell linked devices in Rancho Nuevo are also not reporting.
