Hurricane JIMena v. Santa Rosalia

Wow.
One of our favorite Baja towns has been devastated by Hurricane JIMena.
Click here or on my post title above for photos by Alex and Sue on "Maitairoa".
I find it amazing the US news says nothing about the hurricanes that hit Mexico unless they damage tourist areas, such as Cabo San Pucas or Cancun.
No, I take that back, I don't find it amazing, I find it heartbreaking.

What a shame! Santa Rosalia was one of our favorite memories of Mexico. You are right. No news about Mexican hurricanes unless it's Cabo or a famous tourist spot. Only good thing is they will recover quickly like PV did unlike New Orleans that is still trying to recover.

OMG great pictures. What a mess. Probably take some time to fix all that! But like Ray and Lucy said....they will recover. I'm suprised the "yacht" club was still standing.

FEMA can learn a lesson from the folks here in Mexico. Town is 3/4 cleaned up, most places have power again and water is on its way too. They don't talk here, they roll up the sleeves and go to work.

I can't get over all that mud. So are the pics 189 - 197 after clean up? If so they sure did that quick.

Jim and Heather on Meerkat said...

No those are what the town looked like before. What it should look like... How I know it and remember it.
Thanks again Trouble! Oops, I mean Alex.

Dontcha know that the world ends at the borders of the US? Ok, sarcasm turned off...

I do like the way they mobilise quickly to clean up, cool.

There's a package on it's way to you, btw.

Actually we live in Santa Rosalia and are connected to the copper mine. The town may mop and scrub all the dirt away, but alot of businesses were damaged or washed away. The power line and wells are down all the way to Mulege, hence water for bathing is about 1 or 2 months out. My husband and I sat out the storm and have observed the stunned and depressed expressions of the local residents, they have never experienced anything like this before. The worst storm anyone remembers like this was 50 years ago. Check out my blog at missywah.blogspot.com. It is a very sad state of affairs.

Jim and Heather on Meerkat said...

Thanks for the update on Sta Rosalia and the surrounding areas La Duena. Not shocked about the Oasis and other places along the river in Mulege... but saddened by it all.
