Miraculously, Hurricane John appears to be passing well to our east at this time. Last night, we thought it was going to miss us to the west, and we woke up this morning and it was heading straight for us. During the day today, however, the storm has jogged well to the north of the official NHC forecast track and the model guidance. Now, the forecast models all have John heading up the east side of the Baja Peninsula, before either crossing into the southwest US or back into the Pacific. Right here just east of Cabo San Lucas, huge waves were the main show. We've had some gusts to tropical storm force in many of the outer bands, but this is definitely not what we were expecting.
We are now attempting to find a car to drive east and document the landfall...although we might be picked up by the military if we're out on the road.

WTF!!! I'm with you guys in thinking John would miss to the west...not EAST! Goes to show the uncertainty and "FICKLE" nature of these beasts. Still looks like a landfall on the E coast of Baja ENE of Cabo. I hope you guys can make it there for footage. Just watch out for the corn butt if you get thrown in a military jail.
