Hurricane Juliette (Huracán Julieta) struck Baja California Sur on Wednesday, September 26, 2001. Luckily she had greatly weakened from the category 4 monster she had recently been. Los Cabos felt the storm's force a full 24 hours ahead of Todos Santos. Before it ended, 17.7 inches of rain had fallen in Cabo San Lucas in a matter of days. Winds gusts of 125 mph were measured at the marina in Cabo. Arroyos filled with water - bridges and roads washed away. Electricity, water and telephone service were all cut off for days. Many were affected, some seriously, but only 2 lives were lost due to the storm. Over 1700 modest Mexican homes are believed to have been destroyed. Most major resorts escaped without appreciable damage. Todos Santos also escaped any major damage. | |
