Flash Flood 2006!

On September 7, we had a little flash flood here in Todos Santos. A LOT of rain came down very fast and the ground was already thoroughly saturated with water from previous rains and Hurricane John. The foot hight water in el callejon rose to 3-5 feet in a matter of minutes and some people were trapped. The entire huerta was flooded from side to side and water ran like a river out to the ocean. It lasted several hours. Thanks to Dan Binetti of Ricardo Amigo Real Estate for this dramatic photo. Dan and the owner of the white 4Runner suffered no lasting harm. But you might want to reconsider building a home in the huerta area.
