187.148.187.54

Norbert is up to Category 1 strength and still heading up toward the west coast of Baja, over 300 miles away from us. But it sure has a long reach to keep sending us rain. We got 7.04" / 179mm yesterday (midnight-to-midnight.) Today so far we got 1.82" / 46mm. So that's 11.82" / 300mm total since Norbert began! Yesterday's 1-day total is the second highest in my La Manzanilla records (dating back to 2004,) after the 12.24" / 311mm from Hurricane Jova on October 12th, 2011. And Norbert's storm total so far would be the 4th highest since 2004, behind Helene (2012), Jova (2011) and Invest 95E (2012). I'll update this record after Norbert finally gets done raining on us. As far as I can glean from my rain forecast products (see previous post on this thread), it looks like we might have one more wet day (today,) and then calming down. Enough already! Yesterday I saw that the arroyo on the south side of town had breached the beach and was flowing strong and muddy out into the bay. Anyone know if the croc lagoon has breached the beach yet?
