[/center] An Unwelcome Visitor, Hurricane John 10:25 PM mdst Friday Night
[size 2]While everyone was preparing for a big Labor Day weekend, along came Hurricane John. This is the first time that I can remember the same storm hitting three of our locations in one week. If you haven’t heard about “John” you must be watching too much football. All the networks covered this one extensively. To Tel Mex’s credit, they managed to keep DSL up throughout the storm. The IM’s (instant messages) yesterday reflected the sender’s experience with Baja storms. Messages ranged from “ho hum” to “oh shit!” [/size]
[size 2]As the reports continue to filter in, it sounds like plenty of property damage, but fortunately few injuries.[/size]
[size 2]Here’s link to photos of the damage caused: [/size][url "http://www.parkmodelexpress.com/baja/Hurricane%20John"][url "http://www.parkmodelexpress.com/baja/Hurricane%20John"]http://www.parkmodelexpress.com/baja/Hurricane%20John[/url][/url][size 2]On a lighter note, congratulations to Brett Phillips who received notification this week from IGFA that his “Gaff Sail Pompano” caught on a trip with Baja on the Fly in May set a new all tackle record.

[size 2]As the Southern tip of Baja begins to dig out this morning, all of Magdalena Bay is hunkering down for their turn with “Hurricane John”. Predictions are for more rain and less wind as the storm moves into that area.[/size]

[size 2]The big story this week was not about fishing, but rather staying off the water. Hurricane John, even though we got no damage at all, passed only 60 miles out in front of Ixtapa / Zihuatanejo. Over a period of several hours, we did get 5 inches of rain, but no wind. However, you would not have wanted to be on the water, because it was a completely different story only a couple of miles off the beach. [/size]
[size 2]It is going to take a few more days before the barometer stabilizes and things settle down.[/size]
