Remi Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 I've taken a video of boulders that have come down on the corner of Pancho Gonzales and Ilie Nastase and put on youtube but it seems to have marked it private. I'll post stills on my blog at judydykstrabrown.com asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 It's not just the carretera that is blocked. The north/south Antonio Palafox road is a raging torrent STILL. I was sent a home video from someone in the Raquet Club but can't figure out how to post it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curmudgeon Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 We are trapped in Las Palmas. Access road looks like the Raquet Club did 12 years ago. Big rocks, mud and trees came down from the mountain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johanson Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 Thanks for sharing. Here in upper and slightly West Ajijic, we had plenty of rain, but apparently very little compared to you. There was absolutely no apparent damage on the streets of upper Colon nor upper Juarez, in West Ajijic, this morning when I drove to and from downtown Ajijic for breakfast.

InChapala1 Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 Just 3-4 inches of rain did this. Imagine the impact of a severe rain event if it occurs here: Rossiglione, a town in Italy's Liguria province near Genoa, got 29.2 inches of rain in 12 hours over Monday and Tuesday... https://theweek.com/natural-disasters/1005714/a-town-in-italy-just-got-60-percent-of-its-annual-rainfall-in-12-hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happyjillin Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 Anybody know if the carretera has been cleared yet and is the west access road at the Racquet club in operation? Need to get to the Jocotepec hospital from Chapala this afternoon with the help of somebody in the Racquet.-gracias. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyPanda Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 Have not been there, but the last I heard was maybe two weeks to clean it up. How long before you can get through from La Huerta is a good question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 I have friends who drove from Rancho Alegre to the San Antonio Hospital this morning. Rancho Alegre is just west of the Joco Hospital. They did not say how long it took them. The comment from their housekeeper who lives in San Juan Cosala is that the September 2007 event was worse... their house had 12 inches of mud and water inside it from that event..

Ferret Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 They estimate it took them 40 minutes total. The delay occurred in SJC on the highway because of equipment clearing the road. And I would like to point out that the trip was west to east which is always faster than going east to west. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gringal Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 We just took that trip to a restaurant west of the gas station. Along the way, many delays and many 5 ft. high piles of debris along the side of the road. One way traffic alternates slowed things even more. The restaurant was busily cleaning up mud, so no lunch there today, and we headed back eastward. Advice: don't go anywhere past Yves location westward. Huge mess!! Water still running across the road from the hills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
