Great graphic for the mainland..not so good for Cabo. Hopefully it deflects from that exact path a bit..looks like it maybe grande when it organizes and strengthens. gracias david

TLDR - Norma is not Lidia but it is not normal.
Norma is going to be primarily another ocean event.
Ventusky allows one to go into the past (click on today the click on current days).
Hurricane Lidia's ocean event peaked October 10th, a Tuesday evening around 9 pm with a significant wave height of 18.4 feet.
You can change the options to wind or swell wave height. Put your mouse over the Bay of Tenacatita to show the wave height, then use the left and right arrows on your keyboard to change the time while watching the height change.
There is only one high tide today and it is at 10:07 am, so we got that working for us.
I am not versed enough in past statistics to really say what is going to happen today (not to mention Ventusky is predicting this evenings significant wave height). I am prepared equal to my concern which isn't much but is not zero. Mostly hoping I don't have to clean up again and am relying on the pile of sand from Lidia and a few new sandbags for protection (not boarding up the office). Problem is it only takes one rouge wave to #### shit up.

Gracias D ! Have to admit had to look up TLDR..very good usage ! Plus I found a lot of other juicy acronyms on the site "howtogeek"..Thank you very much for the early morning education ! And, thanks a lot for turning the beach cam on early (pre dawn check out)..really appreciate it. Looking quite blustery !

During Lidia's Tuesday night's peak I was off the beach up in the new safe zone. While I did enjoy it up there I missed the action (dopamine) and didn't like not knowing what was going on at the office.
Now, sitting here watching the ocean come closer and closer, not knowing how high its going to get, I can feel the suspense, the dopamine is flowing, I both love and hate it.
