IE- lots of rain etc.?

Hook posted this on the Baja Nomads board from San Carlos about 2 am:
FINALLY back up after the last time but it wont last as we are inverting and need power for other things.
Radio reports indicate AT LEAST four boats aground inside Bahia San Carlos. One particularly desperate situation has a sailboat on rocks just below a 20 foot sea wall with the main mast banging against it. Bow pulpit gone. Owner, an elderly man with health problems is prostrate on the deck and cant move. Not sure how this is going to end as getting to him is difficult, to say the least.
Weather finally abating in the last half hour but since my last report at 2am, it was the worst of the storm so far and far worse than anything I have ever been in.
That is all. Laptop batts just about kaput. No decent dry place to run a genny right now.
But WE are alive................I am not hopeful for others in this area.
i assume things have gotten better since then but fear for some of my friends in low lying areas & out at La Manga. take care of yourselves; our thoughts are with you. and anyone who can, in between managing to survive and rebuild your life, please keep us posted.
to keep it in perspective, sounds like the towns in Mag Bay area got absolutely slammed....one report on nomads talks about 60-70% of homes in Lopez Mateos being destroyed. and Mulege likewise got hammered when it camped over em for a while....many reports of water 2-3' higher than post-John flooding

| WOW--from the Baja Nomad boards it sounds like mid-Baja really got hammered. So much loss for so many. Please keep this topic updated as reports around SC are received. Sending prayers and best thoughts.

| I understand that the Costa Del Mar development on Catch 22 beach is flooded. The water is coming down from the mountain and into the community. 90% of the homes have water in them. Not a good situation for the folks in there.

| My info was from the boards on the Baja Nomad website, and also then read reports on Baja Bush Pilots site regarding damage to Lopez Mateos (@90% of homes damaged or gone), and much of the same in Mulege, Santa Rosalia, and Punta Chivato. No power or water, and HWY 1 is closed in many places due to flooding and bridges out, so help must come by sea or air.

scgirl, what is the source of your information about the Costa del Mar community? Many people are very worried about their property and seeking accurate information. Better nothing than hearsay in my opinion. The last thing needed right now are unsubstaniated rumors.

| Do you have a username and password to log in? You will not be able to see without. On a bright note, Fernando just called and the power is on in Miramar again.

| I spoke with a friend who was on his way down and the police had him turn around and return to Hermosillo as the road was closed. This was at 4 pm. I'll post more first hand information as I it.

my information on Costa del Mar is from two different people who spoke with the same person in CDM.. His story is that 90 percent of the homes in CDM are under up to 2 feet of water. The water was runoff from the mountains that rushed through the front entrance of the neighborhood.
we have a house there and this is my first experience of this nature. I can use all the advice I can get right now. I'm heading down as soon as the roads are clear.
