Norbert Hits Hard

Norbert was a fairly narrow storm. The part of the storm with hurricane force winds was only about 75 miles across. The Internet chatter sounds like the gringo communities in Mulege, Loreto, Todos Santos, etc... were largely spared. Unfortunately, the Sud Californiano is reporting massive damage in several communities.

The Sud Californiano reports that more than 90% of the homes in Puerto Alcatraz and Bahía Magdalena were destroyed - the paper used the verb "arrasar" meaning demolished, leveled, or flattened. More than 3,000 people are in shelters.

My young son just woke up so I have got to run but I'll post more later.
