The good news is the Jimena has begun to diminish slightly and is forecast to continue a slow degradation before making landfall. The most recent path from the NHC puts the storm slightly more offshore, another positive factor.
We will continue to provide updates to the BajaInsider as they are released from the NHC, we may even get you some video... as long as the internet connection holds out!
