How are things looking, weatherwise, for the weekend? San Carlos got hit hard overnight, the convection layer all blew over the mainland with tropical storm warnings up to Puerto Libertad (last I checked), and monsoonal weather is expected in Arizona starting Friday, with rain, thunder and lightning. The actual storm stayed over Baja, which is in very bad shape especially from Santa Rosalia south past Mulege (Mulege is totally cut off, Loreto is expected to be without power for 6 days-- they could use a little love...).
I'm getting emails from folks who are worried about driving down for the weekend due to possible flooding.
What are you hearing?

Here's what I gather about those affected from the articles translated:
Yesterday
"La Paz-Ciudad Constitucion, San Carlos, just over 50 thousand people around the towns without light and water." (who had it before).
"The parastatal explained that the strong wind knocked over a 1200 posts, 102 towers and damaged the circuits of distribution and transmission lines."
Today
http://www.eluniversal.com.mx/estados/72975.html
"Jimena" leaves to 75 thousand without services in BCS
"The Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) reported that 59 thousand people in Loreto, Ciudad Constitucion, Santa Rosalia, Puerto San Carlos, Mulege, Comondú Villa Insurgentes and other villages were left without light."
"In the municipalities of Comondu and Mulege at least 2 thousand homes have been severely damaged. In the town of Puerto Adolfo López Mateos some 250 are recorded damage in Mulege over 600, including 300 with total damage."
"The delegate Ivan de la Toba reported that Lopez Mateos-... are without the services of electricity or running water, and that the 500 evacuees exceeded the capacity of shelters, which is 300."

"Travel is limited to 4x4 and is difficult to pass from La Paz to Constituccion due to obstacles, mud, and road problems."
In Mulege County 6,000 people require temporary (albergadas) housing.
In Cabo region 3500
In La Paz region 1500
In Loreto region 417
Most other regions not yet reporting
---------

"On his way through Baja California, Hurricane Jimena "devastated Magdalena Island, about 200 homes were destroyed, leaving hundreds of homeless people, who for two centuries are settled in this majestic stretch of land, about 200 families are in distress and urgent clamor for government intervention at all three levels, said Martin de la Toba Miranda."
