Living up north for most of my life I’ve managed to never be in a hurricane in my nearly 60 years on this rock. That streak is about to come to an end. I recently moved to Mexico for various reasons and after less than a month here Hurricane (Cyclone? Don’t they call them cyclones in the Pacific?) Olaf is about to pay the southern Baja California peninsula a visit.

People here are taking it in stride. Some businesses were closed today in preparation for the coming storm. Fortunately for me my biggest worry is the dirt road I have to temporarily use to get to my apartment might be seriously damaged by the storm. But I’ve got plenty of food and water so can shelter in place for a while if need be.
