tmagan Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Cabo is what, 500 miles from San Diego? If this were approaching an area with an operable radar, we would be getting hourly update statements on its location and upon landfall. Just goes to show you how the 500 miles here makes a big difference, even in this technologically advanced era. Edit: As soon as I type this, an update statement comes out.

Yet it can be so useful during events. Here's the latest from Josh. 11:05 pm. Calm-- or what feels like calm when you're shell-shocked. Winds maybe 20 knots. Pressure 942.8 mb. People peeking outside, walking around. The front of the hotel looks like it was put through a blender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmagan Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I do not know if Cabo is considered a 'major' city in terms of population, but it has been a long time since a major city took a landfall hit from a major hurricane in the western hemisphere.

Amped Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Looks very Isabel sequel structure wise. Historic hit for cabo The Northern part of the outer eyewall is over 4000ft terrain and it's a solid ridge. The inner structure has to be taking a major hit even if it doesn't show up on the infrared for a few frames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A PWS near San Jose Del Cabo viewable on Wunderground.com is gusting to 114MPH right now. Very impressive on-land observations, so San Jose Del Cabo is getting raked.

David Reimer Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 From Josh Midnight. CODE RED. At 11:46 pm, the backside of the eyeall hit-- no buildup-- just all of a sudden the howling and banging started up again. The hotel manager joked that it sounds like gunshots. Then at maybe midnight... BOOM!!!!! The entire glass wall of the lobby EXPLODED-- with glass, pieces of building, everything flying to the other end of the lobby. Like an explosion in an action movie. A hotel worked and I ducked under the reception counter-- I physically grabbed his head and pushed it under the counter. Glass was everywhere-- my leg gashed-- blood. We crawled into the office-- me, the worker, and the manager-- but the ceiling started to lift up. After five minutes of debate-- breathing hard like three trapped animals-- we made a run for it-- went running like HELL across the lobby-- which is now basically just OUTSIDE-- and made it to the stairwell and an interior hallway. Two nice women dressed my wound. I don't know where my cameradude, Steven, is. I need to find him. People are scared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windspeed Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I am amazed he is getting these out as I figured cell reception would be down by now. May not be in service for much longer. I would say they're going to get raked with high backside winds and onshore flow for quite a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyhb Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 1 am. I found Steve-- we were tearfully reunited. I say tearfully because I was so happy to find him in the chaos I got emotional. After waling the flooded, dark hallways alone, I found him sheltered in a bathroom next to the lobby with two other guests. Steve was in the cloud of flying glass as that wall exploded. Like us, he had to run like hell-- and like me, he was bloodied. Steve saw me and my partners scampering like rats across the lobby earlier-- when we made our escape-- but I didn't hear his calling over the roar of the wind. What you see here is my leg-- dressed in a towel-- Steve's wound dressed in duct tape, and a shoe he fashioned out of duct tape (because he lost his). We're in an interior hall now. We're OK. I think the wind is quieting down. I think. Parts of the hotel are smashed beyond recognition.
