Yesterday evening the clouds put on a dramatic, biblical show at sunset, promising rain with the approach of Julio, the latest soon-to-be hurricane now blowing over Baja. The NOAA map below shows its current position. It's expected to move up the Sea of Cortez and possibly reach our area sometime Wednesday. I'm not worried, but I'll make sure we have water and batteries.
We desert-dwellers are always grateful for rain, which often teases us with some lightning and thunder, cloud cover and fresh breezes but then bestows its moisture on Guaymas instead. But this time we're getting a sweet taste to brighten and energize our morning. Gracias a dios!
