Hurricane Jimena


Let's all hope history repeats itself and this Miss Hurricane Jimena steers clear of us down in the Baja and heads out to the Pacific side missing the Los Cabos area. The port is currently still open in Los Cabos and its business as ususal. There are some storm clouds brewing in the sky but other than that it was a great day on the water for all RedRum boats... fish report to come soon. It's been a busy Sunday folks, bear with us!

Here is the latest from the report we follow on www.wunderground.com/tropical

Jimena is moving toward the west-northwest near 8 mph...13 km/hr...and a gradual turn toward the northwest and then north-northwest isexpected during the next 48 hours.

Satellite images indicate that the maximum sustained winds are now near 140 mph...220 km/hr...with higher gusts. Jimena is a category four hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale. Some fluctuations in strength are likely over the next day or two.

Hurricane force winds extend outward up to 25 miles...35 km...from the center...and tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 70 miles...110 km.
