Hey Scatter. Right now it looks like this hurricane is going to go right over your place in Baja. I hope your home fairs well. Let us know if you need anything.

Central Baja has been hit hard.

Hopefully it will have wound down before getting too far north.

"Matancitas (Lopez Mateos) Almost 90% of the structures are down or severely damaged. All water, power, telephone, etc. out

Ciudad Constitucion: Most roofs are gone; sever damage to 70% of the buildings. Power, water, telephones are out

Loreto: All power / telephone are down, lines are down, trees and buildings blocking the streets, airport is closed at this time.

Mulege: All power, telephone, water, etc. is out. The water crested three feet above the bridge. Water was two feet deep in the fire station which would mean that almost of the entire town was flooded. There has been reports of loss of life.

Punta Chivato: One person indicates that the wind was over 100 mph before the indicator broke. Damage to almost everything. We should hear about the condition of the strip sometime today

Santa Rosalia: Wall of water came down the canyon and through the town, washed cars, etc. into the ocean. "

Yeah, central Baja really got hit. Not much wind, but LOTS of rain in the mountains and it all went downhill - to the east. They will be digging out for a while.
Didn't get much farther north. Called the beach and it barely got overcast. No wind or rain.
Papa's is fine jstanley.

Great news! Even if you had to rebuild, you would have had it fixed by Spring Break when we arrive, right?? Yea, Jen couldn't get X-Mas off from work this year, so we'll have to wait until Spring Break.

Yeah, we'll be ready to rock and roll most anytime.
Got more info on mid Baja. Hwy 1 is pretty much shut down. Lots of washed out bridges.
Anyone heading much past LA Bay better do some real checking on road conditions.
