After the Category 5 scare, Hurricane Jimena almost seemed like a non-event as she passed by La Paz, staying to the west, with much diminished strength. Heavy rain and some local flooding, but no serious damage that we are aware of.

Others were not so lucky up north, in mid-Baja. Where Jimena hit landfall there was much devastation. Let’s all find out how we can lend a hand or contribute to repairing these peoples’ lives and livelihoods. Please contact the Red Cross or another legitimate organization providing aid.

We decided maybe we will spring for hurricane shutters after all (timing is everything…). Later we’ll give you the contact info for the man who is installing our hurricane shutters.
