Why this hurricane didn't get much mention I don't know. If you have ever been to Cabo, La Paz, Loreto, or anywhere on the Baja peninsula you know the roads, towns, houses are not built for 100 mph winds. First hand reports like this one seem to indicate lots of damage.



Latitude 38 covers the damage done at some of the marinas in Baja.

Marty, the hurricane which has caused the most destruction ever to the cruising fleet in Mexico, is reportedly now down to Tropical Storm force with sustained winds of only 40 knots. She's still a threat to some boats in the northern Sea, but not as much. Regretably, in her track she leaves a tremendous trail of destruction, particularly in some parts of La Paz and in Puerto Escondido.
