It seems a bit late in the season for hurricanes, but what do I know? Rick is headed our way. He is presently a category 5 monster, the second largest in recorded history for this part of the Pacific. He went from a category 1 to a five in less than two days. The storm track has him moving north and then east across the Baja mid week at a category 2 level. We brought out all the lower and upper deck furniture two weeks ago figuring the hurricane season was over. Guess we will be bringing it all in again. Our gas tank is filled and we will need to get water and storm rations Monday because this time the power may indeed go out for a few days. We have our hurricane candles and the little hurricane stove our neighbor Greg bought for us just before the Jimena hurricane in late August. Let's just hope old Rick drops down a few categories as he moves over the cooler water temps which surround the Baja peninsula. For right now, all I can say is: MORE DAYS OFF!!!!
Will write with updates if we are not under water.
Lee and I will keep our fingers crossed, hoping that it reduces to a tropical storm like the last one. Take care.
