It started raining last evening and rained all last night. Still raining this morning and some wind; although not as much as when Henriette went through a couple of years ago.
According to one site the storm center at around 7 AM this morning was 104 miles from us in Guaymas. At 8 AM the winds were supposedly around 46- 93 KMH or 29 - 58 MPH.. At times there are some pretty good gusts. It is still raining fairly hard here at 10 AM and it is expected to continue like this until sometime tomorrow.
Earlier this morning the street light blew off of the pole right beside the corner of our house. Our landlords son (who works for the power company CFE) ran out and picked it up and took it with him.
Below shows the storm center and its effect.
Water running down our street in front of our place.
Every time it rains hard here the water running down the hill gouges out the street. This ditch is about 2 or 2 and 1/2 feet deep right now by the look of it and the water is running fast.
I read online that we had had 5 inches of rain from last night until early this morning. How accurate this is I am not sure.

Glad to hear you are above the lood. Those winds can be hair-raising -- in more than one way.
I lived in the Texas-Louisiana hurricane bulls-eye for most of my adult life. I am so glad I´m out of that forever.
Hang onto your hats.
Wow, Brenda, I am glad you're ok. What a mess. There has been very little on the news here in the US so you are my source for on the ground coverage!
Take care of yourselves!
We are fine here, never lost our power at all. We did lose our internet for about 24 hrs. but it is back now.
Landlord has wireless so was using that a bit yesterday; but the signal was pretty weak up here as his antenna is inside his house below us. Did manage to talk to family in Canada though and reassure them.
Lots of damage to Guaymas, Empalme and the tourist town of San Carlos. Will take some cleaning up.
