September 18th, via the Gringo Gazette:
3 people dead. 2 were high executives from El Boleo mine who tried
to cross a road flooded by a river, another one died of a heart
attack.
Nearly 50,000 people moved from Los Cabos to La Paz.
1,000 people waiting at the La Paz airport to leave. There are no
commercial flights available but Volarís and Interjet are sending
planes free of charge.
Electricity is restored at 70% north of La Paz and 40% in La Paz. It
will take around 2 to 3 weeks to restore power in Los Cabos. Almost
3,000 high tensión poles are down or damaged. Airport, hospitals and
shelters have electricity with power plants.
Cabo airport is fully working. 300 vehicles and around 1,000
electricity company (CFE) workers were brought here in addition to
the 1,000 we already have.
The heads of tourism, civil protection and fonatur are here and they
all say they will stay until everything is sorted out.
Over 3,000 soldiers, sailors and federal gendarmerie are here since

Received 9/18: Just talked to Frontier. The
earliest flight they can book me for is the 25th of Oct. with no
charge to do so. They will go out to Nov. 18th with no additional
charge. The man I spoke with was not very confident that the airport
would be operational by November. He offered to give me my money
back, reroute me to another location, or give credit up to a year. I
booked on the 25th Oct.

Mexican Consulate info on Baja Sur;

=======================================
Updated as of 12:00 PM September 18
The Department of State recommends that U.S. citizens affected by
Hurricane Odile in Baja California Sur should proceed to San José
del Cabo airport as soon as possible, if able to so. Travel during
daylight hours is recommended.
The Department of State is working with U.S. and Mexican carriers to
arrange flights for U.S. citizens departing from San José del Cabo (SJD)
airport on Thursday, September 18. Other flights MAY be departing
from the airport in La Paz (LAP). The Department of State urges U.S.
citizens still in Cabo San Lucas to avail themselves of this
opportunity. Passengers should be prepared to wait until they are
able to depart. Many U.S. and Mexican commercial flights are
departing this airport. In addition, the U.S. State Department has
chartered flights. By law, these flights will be provided on a
reimbursable basis, and passengers will be required to sign a
promissory note. No passenger will be turned away due to lack of
funds.
U.S. consular personnel are in affected areas in the Baja California
peninsula to provide consular assistance to stranded citizens.
The U.S. Consulate in Tijuana advises against land travel between
southern Baja and northern Baja Peninsula because of damage to the
Trans-Peninsular Highway.
For U.S. citizens affected by Hurricane Odile, or their relatives:
The State Department has established a crisis hotline to respond to
inquiries about current conditions and loved ones in the impacted
area. If you require assistance personally, or wish to inquire on
behalf of a friend or family member, please use the following
contact information:
From the U.S. & Canada: 1-888-407-4747
From Overseas: 1 202-501-4444

General Preparation and Guidance
U.S. citizens are advised to monitor local media for updates or
possible changes to the potentially violent weather conditions and
to follow any instructions/warnings issued by the Mexican
government. Preparations to protect life and property should be
considered. U.S. citizens should carry their travel documents (i.e.
U.S. passport book or passport card) with them at all times or
secure them by placing them in a safe, waterproof location. If you
must travel during this time, please take reasonable precautions
such as avoiding entering swiftly moving water. Drivers should
remain vigilant for landslides.
We strongly recommend that U.S. citizens traveling to or residing in
Mexico enroll in the Department of State’s Smart Traveler Enrollment
Program (STEP) [https://step.state.gov/step/]
on the State Department’s website [http://www.travel.state.gov/
]. STEP enrollment gives you the latest security updates, and makes
it easier for the U.S. embassy or nearest U.S. consulate to contact
you in an emergency. If you don’t have Internet access, enroll
directly with the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.
Regularly monitor the State Department's website, where you can find
current Travel Warnings, (including the Travel Warning for Mexico),
Travel Alerts, and the Worldwide Caution. Read the Country Specific
Information for Mexico [http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_4965.html].
For additional information, refer to "A Safe Trip Abroad" on the
State Department’s website.
Contact the U.S. embassy or consulate for up-to-date information on
travel restrictions. You can also call 1-888-407-4747 toll-free in
the United States and Canada or 1-202-501-4444 from other countries.
These numbers are available from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern
Time, Monday through Friday (except U.S. federal holidays). Follow
