As of this posting I personally, have had no contact with anyone in the Los Barriles area either by phone or email since that one phone call Monday evening.  I do see a few www.facebook.com  postings from residents. 
When someone does fly or drive, please send a short note to the BPE if and when you can.

Tropical storm warnings from National Hurricane center Miami florida

                                 ==================================

a.  I have friends in Miraflores and family in Santiago and haven't seen any reports in the area of these two towns other than Los Barriles.  Hopefully, someone will give a report here.
Obviously, i have sent emails to them but probably due to the hurricane damage, they haven't received my messages or can't send messages out.  In Miraflores my friend is Oscar Manuel Lopez Montoya and is also known as the  "Oscar the Vegie Man".
In Santiago, the fathers name is Antonio Cesena. His son Carlos Cesena works at Chapito's in Los Barriles.  I would appreciate any feedback in these difficult times.  James H fishorcb77@yahoo.com

b.  I will be making my way to Punta Pescadero tomorrow. If you have been informed of any EMERGENCY medical or other life threatening situations (humans only) please let me know and I will try to help if possible.   Mike Toft (805)750-0100 

c.  Personal note:  Hi Donna, Marcia, Pat, Mayte, Jorge, Erica and my favorite little person Julien. I know y'all are fine. I'm praying the next storm goes due west. Batten down the hatches. Love you

d.  We plan to leave San Diego Thursday and drive to San Jose.  Any road condition information welcome.  G. Winans@ sbcglobal .net

Hurricane Odile in Baja California Sur

Tijuana, BC, September 16, 2014.- American Officers are closely monitoring Hurricane Odile and its effects on Mexico. The welfare and safety of American citizens outside the United States is the number one priority of the Department of State. Although Baja California Sur is a popular destination for American tourists, the American Consulate in Tijuana has not received any report that any American citizen has died or been injured in Baja California Sur.

Information about evacuations
The Mexican Army is in the process of transporting American citizens stranded at three airports in Baja California Sur (Airport Cabo San Lucas, the International Airport of San Jose del Cabo, and the Manuel Márquez de León International Airport in La Paz.) Military Forces are advising that any American citizen wishing to be evacuated, should go to the nearest airport and as soon as possible. For more information on these flights, please contact local authorities. Flights have been arriving in Tijuana, Mazatlan, Guadalajara and Mexico City. American government officials at these airports are offering additional assistance to their fellow citizens.

For American citizens affected by Hurricane Odile or their families:
The Department of State has established a hotline to answer any questions about current conditions and their loved ones in the disaster area. If you require personal assistance, or desire information about a friend or loved one, please use the following contact information:
From the United States & Canada: 1-888-407-4747
From Abroad: 1 202-501-4444
Email: OdileEmergencyUSC@state.gov
For security alerts concerning American citizens affected by the storm, including yourself, you can also visit this website https://tfa.state.gov/ccd and select "2014 Hurricane Odile," to provide as much information as possible.

We also confirmed that, due to the damage that the storm has caused, the airport in Los Cabos is temporarily closed to commercial flights. Commercial flights will become available once the airport is reopened. If you have air tickets, you need to confirm the status of your flight with your airline before heading to the airport.

Please read the message on the website of the Emergency American Consulate in Tijuana (tijuana.usconsulate.gov/service.html) to link to the various websites that provide information on the progress of the storm and information to contact the American Consulate and the Department of State.
