It is September 3, 2006, the “Day of the Frogs.” I am standing in the unfinished French doors of the dining room of our casita in Southern Baja looking out at the flooded arroyo. I was drawn here by a sound – an odd droning sound, as though someone in this small and isolated Gringo neighborhood had turned on a massive, pulsing generator. That would not be unusual, since we are well off the power grid.

Hurricane John passed through in the night. It may have passed over on the cape rather than through this area on the Pacific coast. I don’t know yet what its true path was because there is no phone or internet connection. I am stranded as the result of washed-out roads. All I know is what I heard in the night – howling winds and torrents of rain that left behind lakes in the dry arroyos, ruts and cave-ins in the already primitive network of dirt roads.
