Hurricane Jimena Wrap-Up
Hurricane
Jimena 2009:
Hurricane Jimena started out as a
Category 4 out in the Pacific and had the whole Baja Peninsula bracing for the
worst. As it turned out, it dropped to a Category 2 as it neared the Peninsula
and passed overhead in San Somewhere as a Category 1. For
those who lived through it, it doesn't matter what category it was!

This article from the Associated
Press appeared in the local South Bay Daily Breeze newspaper on Thursday, September
3, 2009.
It was the first time that Juan y Juan had ever seen, "San Somewhere"
(they did not spell it correctly) mentioned in a local paper.
Kinda
looks like a Scorpion (ouch!) on August 31,
2009
