Hurricane Henriette

Hurricane Henriette

Henriette has been upgraded from a tropical storm to a hurricane and we are now under a hurricane watch. A hurricane watch means that we could expect to experience hurricane conditions within the next 36 hrs.

The following is taken from Accu Weather.com.
A HURRICANE WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE EAST COAST OF THE BAJA
PENINSULA FROM LORETO NORTHWARD TO MULEGE. A HURRICANE WATCH IS
ALSO IN EFFECT FOR THE COAST OF MAINLAND MEXICO FROM ALTATA
NORTHWARD TO GUAYMAS. A HURRICANE WATCH MEANS THAT HURRICANE
CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE WITHIN THE WATCH AREA...GENERALLY WITHIN 36
HOURS

This is a current picture of the projected track, we are approximately where the little white star is.

Today we will be bringing in all the things/plants off of the patio. We were going to wait until tomorrow; but decided to do it while everything is still dry and it is not so windy. We will also be putting masking tape on our windows.
We asked our landlord and he said that no one here covers up their windows. They just put masking tape on them. He said that the way the mountains surround us that we are quite protected and the winds are not as bad here as they are in San Carlos. I am not sure if the people in San Carlos board up their windows, have or use hurricane shutters or not. I would be more concerned if we lived out there. He told us that the last time a storm came through here they did not even lose their electricity. It went off and on momentarily because of trees hitting the lines; but did not go out completely. That sounded good.
Well time to get busy and do some stuff.

Tropical Storm Henriette

Tropical Storm Henriette

This is the time of year for tropical storms and hurricanes. I am sure that if you watch the news at all you are aware of Hurricane Felix getting ready to blast along the Yucatan and east coast as Hurricane Dean did, not too long ago.

On this side of the country we are watching Tropical Storm Henriette. Unless she changes her course in the next few days we could get some wind and rain, hard to say at this point how bad it will be.

On the picture below we are approximately where I put the star.

Friday evening we went out to dinner with some people in Empalme. I guess the lady found this blog and emailed me. We emailed back and forth all week and decided to met in Empalme, where they live for dinner. We ate at a carne asada (grilled meat) taco place and then went to see their home. They are in the process of moving from one house to another so we got to see their "new" place also. A nice evening.
I have a couple of plants that are not doing well, they haven't done well since I planted them. The leaves instead of being a nice healthy green are a yellowish white color and they just look very sickly. I have tried fertilizing them to no avail. They just look as if something is leaching all the chlorophyll out of their leaves. I got thinking and am wondering if the one bag of soil that we purchased had something strange in it. I had also planted a rose at the same time as the other two plants and it died. Last evening I finally decided to re pot them in different soil and see if that will help. Neither of them had much for root growth considering how long they have been in the pots, strange. If they don't improve in a month or so I will try fertilizing again or just chuck them out.
