HURRICANE JIMENA
(a) FIRST ROAD REPORT FOR
THE BPE (I'm sure the photos are Santa Rosalia, Cheryl)
Hola todos,
We made it across the border on Sun. about noon. From San Ignacio
north, the road is passable by all vehicles. The 1 day drive to
Santa Rosalia, from La Ribera, took 5 days, so count on delays and
some very rough road conditions.
From Loreto north to just south of San Ignacio, the road is
passable, even with a low clearance vehicle, as the highway is being
cleared by crews and equipment at almost every diffficult spot. Not
like when we came through.
Saturday noon, the water was still thigh deep, (see photo), at the
northern most wash out, about 15km south of San Ignacio. Trucks were
not getting through northbound, as a truck was stuck in the road,
and partially under water, blocking all vehicles 8ft wide. It has
probably been removed by now, but we had to fold in our mirror to
scrape by.
Loreto, no power or water, and few services... no fuel yet
Mulege, no power water, few services, fuel south of town.
Santa Rosalia, no water, but fuel, and clever pump rip-off
attendents.
Bring your own extra supplies, and count on extra travel time, as
traffic is backed up often at the many washouts.
(b) I have just gotten off the
phone with the President of the Rotary Club in Mulege. Our Rotary
Club has sent in a donation to their club to spend on anything that
they feel is critical. I also want to ask each and everyone of you
as you are are traveling back to the East Cape to drop off food and
clothing at the fire station in Mulege who is handling all of the
distribution in their town. I have been in contact with our District
Governor of Rotary and he is in contact with Rotary International to
see what help they can give to our neighbors to the North of us. He
is going to get back to me when he find out where the drop off
locations are in Loreto and Cuidad Constitucion. I will post those
location when I get them. If you have any questions, please email me
at
bajarhino@yahoo.com Marilyn Cunningham
I received this photo a couple of times. Does anyone know the
source? Quite amazing. Cheryl
