Re: Weather Channel-update Report hurricane aftermath 2 people dead, one in Guaymas and one in San Carlos. One tried to fix the roof and collapsed, the one in San Carlos was claming, he was warned but... Flood was the main problem in Guaymas, electricity is off in some parts, no water in Guaymas neither San Carlos. No shool classes for two days. 11am Video - http://www.oursliceoflime.com/Henriette/Henriette.wmv 2pm Video - http://www.oursliceoflime.com/Henriette/Henriette-2pm.wmv This is another way to access video WMV @ 1.5mb MP4 @ 2.6mb Here's some AP news: Henriette from the AP wire Here's the latest from Assoc. Press. Henriette, which killed at least seven people in its run along Mexico's coast, struck Los Cabos at the tip of the Baja California peninsula on Tuesday. It remained dangerous as it moved over open water on a track to hit the Mexican mainland later Wednesday with sustained winds of 75 mph, about 300 miles south of the Arizona border. Henriette had top sustained winds of 75 mph as it whipped the Mexican mainland between Los Mochis and Guaymas, a swampy coastal zone of farming and fishing towns that also includes San Carlos, a community of American retirees. At 2 p.m. EDT, Henriette was centered about 20 miles southwest of Huatabampo — some 300 miles south of the Arizona border — and it was moving north at 12 mph. The National Hurricane Center said it could bring as much as a foot of rain in isolated areas and cause flash flooding. It was expected to weaken over Mexico's deserts and dump an inch or two of rain on southwest New Mexico Thursday or Friday. More AP stuff from yesterday: Re: Henriette from the AP wire Here's the latest from AP 20 minutes ago: Far to the northwest, Hurricane Henriette took aim at Mexico for the second time in two days, moving toward the port city of Guaymas with top sustained winds of 75 mph. Seven deaths were reported from the Pacific storm, which hit Baja California on Tuesday. On Mexico's western coast, Henriette moved across the Gulf of California toward its second landfall. Schools and ports were closed and people evacuated from low-lying areas, but the storm was expected to weaken quickly over the desert before dumping a few inches of rain Thursday on New Mexico. Among the coastal communities sure to get drenched was San Carlos, a beach town packed with American retirees that neighbors Guaymas. At 5 p.m. EDT, Henriette was centered about 70 miles south of Guaymas, moving northward at 12 mph, and the first tropical-storm force winds were lashing the city, the U.S. Hurricane Center said. Hope this is of some help and/or interest to some folks. Tom
