Flash Flooding Across Los Cabos: Stay Home If You Can

¡Buenas noches, Los Cabos! It's Lobo here, live from the studio, and tonight's show is presented by Sancho's. Tonight, flash flooding across Los Cabos. If you have to get out, cuidado..

A rain band from what is left of Vance hit Cabo San Lucas around ten this morning and San José around eleven. Here's the SMN and CONAGUA radar from late this morning, and NOAA's satellite just after noon.

Amigos, the water came up fast made a mess of our little tip of the rock.

The Aguajitos, Santa Rosa and Costa Azul arroyos rose fast, with currents too strong to cross, and the Ayuntamiento closed the Aguajitos crossing. Video from Guia Los Cabos TV: an arroyo running, crossing closed.

HOY BCS reports arroyo currents carried off cars, motorcycles and even people. Local media report vehicles pushed out to Costa Azul beach and into the sea.

Authorities have not released any count of damage, injuries or rescues yet.

Downtown San José was hit hard around IMSS clinic number six, with Calle Miguel Hidalgo flooded, say Meganoticias and BCS Noticias. Flooding was also reported in Miraflores, Santiago and La Ribera.

SMN forecast fifty to seventy-nine millimeters today for southern Baja California Sur, after about sixty millimeters Tuesday night, about double a normal October.

The San José fire department says the emergency system is saturated with rescues and evacuations. They ask everyone to avoid all non-essential trips and stay where you're safe until the water goes down.

The State Civil Protection Council suspended classes this afternoon at all schools, public and private, daycares included. Parents, watch official channels for Monday.

Never drive, walk or ride through moving water. Stay away from arroyos, vados and low spots, water rises fast even when it's not raining where you are. Turn around at flooded roads, keep kids and pets out of floodwater, and if water is rising, get to higher ground and follow Protección Civil. Emergency? Call nine one one. Cuidado, amigos.

The tropics are quiet tonight, no systems for NHC to watch.

The Los Cabos forecast is brought to you by Cabo Lifestyle Homes, powered by Ronival Real Estate. cabolifestylehomes.com.

Tonight, sunset at five forty-two, seventy-seven at six, seventy-four by midnight, partly cloudy, no rain in the forecast, and a low of seventy-one.

Peso Check, as of today: a U.S. dollar buys about eighteen point nine pesos, a Canadian dollar about thirteen point five. Shops and exchange houses usually give a bit less, so check first.

Now let's talk fishing, from Sunday's reports.

Daliken Sportfishing says the tuna bite is still the main show, mostly twenty to forty pounders with some sixty to eighty, and wahoo and sailfish are starting to show. Lands End has Cabo water at eighty-eight.

And over at Gordo Banks, Captain Chuy and his client Darryl pulled up a ninety-nine pound grouper. Darryl came back Saturday for another one, fifty-five pounds. Some guys just don’t know when to quit. ¿Qué pasa, Cabo? Here’s what’s happening around town.

Día de Muertos celebrations start tomorrow on Playa El Médano, through Tuesday. The Copa Presidente Marlini registers tomorrow and fishes Sunday. Baja 1000 week starts in ten days.

Check with the organizers for any weather changes. Lobo's Weekend Pick: Halloween at Sancho's! Once this rain clears, the weekend looks spooky in the best way.

Tomorrow, October thirty-first, Sancho's on the Cabo San Lucas marina goes all day, nine in the morning to eleven at night, with college football on every screen and a Spookeasy cocktail menu.

At five o'clock, trick-or-treat candy stations on the deck for the little ghosts and goblins. Between the K and L docks. Reserve a table or just come on in.

Check Sancho's Facebook for weather updates before you head out. Lobo's going as a sea lion this year. Again. It's a classic for a reason.

My weekend plan? Sun, salt and a very serious nap. Share this with a neighbor who needs it, and follow Lobo Los Cabos. That's the tide report. Stay safe, look out for each other. Sal y sol, Cabo.
