Spent a week in Mulege yesterday. Observations here are based on On-Foot Survey of 3 schools upriver of bridge, OFS of area around Saul's Tienda, drive thru downtown, drive up ice-house road as far as Internado, OFS @ Jorge's entrance (as tho you identify that) & newish river road by agua-pura @ Jorge's, air passes of town on approach, OFS of Serenidad, and detailed OFS of Oasis from easterly most lots to Jimmie Christopher's, including Leon's vehicle service lot. Strip @ Serenidad is fully repaired & operational. Lot #'s below are Oasis lots.

Picture what is generally known about New Orleans, and subtract lingering standing water. Otherwise equivalent. Much standing water. Mexicans are managing the mosquito problem fairly well so far; no swarming attacks in town. The gringos, however, have a large & growing infestation brewing. Mosquitoes are of the small, persistent, twin engine variety, insistent on their business. Both sides of river have a lingering smell reminiscent of sewage; I suspect some of that is due to sewage coming to the surface of saturated soil, and some is the fragrant putrefaction of organic matter in the mud. I chlorinated & acid-shock treated the swamp @ entry to the Oasis; please do some similar service for mosquitoes in the swamp nearest you.

Fixed Structures: Where water velocity (and therefore momentum) was high, the character of a structure was not important. The block agua-pura by Jorge's is symptomatic- the building was scoured out and hammered apart; no equipment remaining and most walls only partially standing. Where velocity was low, there will be simply inundation & mud, lotsa mud; Linderman's #515 had low to no velocity, no windows broken, but mud line at ~4-5 feet. Scott's #504 rear block wall is knocked down by water velocity, which subsequently blew out the courtyard window, scrambled the contents inside (& deposited lotsa mud), then blew out the streetside window & tried to push as much house contents thru the hole as would fit. Scotts are at the downstream end of a road parallel to the river, so momentum could build up. Scott's other walls withstood the flow; house standing. Insubstantial structures caved unless very well shielded from velocity. Metal sheds anywhere near flowing water are mangled or moved, or Young #18 had two metal sheds that are Missing In Action. Bossley #26 has 2 metal sheds, one rotated off foundation & moved; the other moved & mangled as tho compressed inward. Christopher #55 back wall fell off it's footing as there was no reinforcing connection of wall to footing. Other structures in between in substance vary; schools above the bridge were well built, squarely in flow path, but velocity was low & buildings are intact; there was a tienda on the uphill side of icehouse road that was washed away (velocity low but obviously junk construction, and there are a lot of Mexican homes impacted in this area). The Christian church below the big bridge is MIA; not a slab or footing to be seen. Near the highest velocities there is scouring around footings, and along the south river road there are periodic scoured out holes in the road; one by Serenidad landing strip is ~70' x 20' x 3' deep. Smaller ones along Oasis frontage, & I assume along the whole south river road; a section of the newish south river road near & just east of Jorge's is gone completely for 100 meters. The north river road appeared more intact and had trucks rolling to Loma Azul; only saw it from the plane. The seawall along south side of river is more intact than early reports, tho more recent improvements that were just grouted onto the older, stouter seawall are MIA. Some seawall portions are truly gone. The lighthouse is on an island; river cut a channel to north of lighthouse.

Boats: Most boats are still around, and mostly near where they started. Trailers acted as anchors. Many are not sitting correctly on their trailers. Some have moved a far way; e.g. a boat w/blue tarp that was parked around #518 or 519 is now quite a distance east on other property. If it really floated, like Tussy's kayak, it may hit land near Guaymas shortly. Generally the boats tilted on trailers will have a birdbath of water & mud and will be very well warmed each day to lovingly incubate mosquito larvae; please clean out your boat ASAP. The breather vent for permanent tanks would have allowed mud into gas tank if under water, & tanks will have to be dewatered & cleaned.

Cars: ~1" of mud (3/8" dried) on engines; water in crankcase, transmission, differential thru breather openings; mud inside door panels; mud soaked into upholstery.

House Trailers (incl. both flat-floor & 5th wheel): most floated somewhat so are off their proper jack stands and sloping down by the hitch where the support sank in the mud; only a few are level and where they were parked. A large percentage are tilted as well were one side of the axle sank. Most trailer floors are either cheapest grade of plywood or particleboard (I know Airstream used particleboard) and will retain water unless dried immediately (and immediately may be over already). Lily was kind enough to open her motorhome for a quick peek- 1" of mud on the sofa; humidity about 98%.

House Contents: If it is susceptible to water damage, and it was below water line it will be headed for the landfill. Carpet, soft furniture, mattresses, most wood cabinets, tile counters built on plywood counter top, computers, TVs, etc. will be ruined. Tools are in the process of rusting tight. Refrigerators made with fiberglass insulation will have the organic mud embedded in insulation where it will be very difficult to get clean, assuming the refrigeration can be made to work (which is a decent bet given time & laborious cleaning). Fridges/freezers w/foam insulation will fare better. But EVERYTHING will have mud accumulated on any flat surface. Other equipment will have mud inside in every crack & crevice. Some houses had a lot of velocity inside, scrambling contents; some did not. Most houses have 6-8" of mud.

Water Level Observations: CECYTE got 45 to 74" (classroom floor height varies). Primaria school below CECYTE got 69-83" (the hill w/the Mision de Mulege acted as a constriction backing up water). Internado school on icehouse road had ~48". Estimates on level at the bridge vary from 4-5' below to 3 meters; this may be due to the slope of the bridge which is a slight uphill heading south and differing points of reference. Saul's store had 6" (he's several steps up from street) and Lola Cuesta (Scholarship Administradora) across from Saul's had 4.5'. Estimates in the upper Oasis around lot 100 were 10'; Oasis clubhouse was up to the ceiling; Lots 16 & M1 were about 6' (ground slopes up from clubhouse to rear lots in Oasis); Bill & Judy (southeasterly most Oasis lot) got 4' in the house which is built up about 16"; Lot 516 about 6'. No observations till Serenidad which had water in the courtyard but not in the restaurant or bar, and in some of the lower rooms (not much difference in elevation to the restaurant, so I'd say less than 6" general @ Serenidad).

Electricity: On in town, and now on south of river at least to Oasis. Fire alarms going off in some houses/trailers. FWIW, I recommend disconnecting electricity till your service is flushed out & checked, and all outlets below waterline are replaced.

Water: on in town & rumored to be on south of river within a few days. There will be many leaks where lines are torn up.

Another observation- Any house that had 2 feet or more of water is not habitable until cleaned & disinfected. One estimate, IIRC by the Bush Pilots, put that number at about 400 minimum for both sides of the river, a credible number.

One person had chaffing on calves from wearing mud boots (recommended for working with the sloppy mud or wading into a swamp to apply mosquito control BTW) and that turned to infection within a coupla days. Working conditions are hot, humid, sweaty buggy, and septic. I recommend:
1) mud boots which you will be happy to discard after the mud is hauled out or too dry
2) 1 aluminum snow shovel for use w/wet mud and thereafter as a large debris scoop
3) bug repellant w/lotsa DEET (not IMO a time to fiddle w/organic alternatives)
4) flat nose shovels, 2 or 3 (these will be the default tool of choice)
5) one round nose shovel unless you can share one w/a friend
6) a BIG long-handled hoe (12" or so, not the teeny garden type)
7) push broom, stout regular broom
8) putty knives, 1" and 3"
9) Mechanix or Atlas #370 work gloves
11) ohm tester for electrical service, enough new 120V outlets for all new
12) pry bar, nail remover, hammers, pliers, screw drivers, etc. to taste
13) the usual baja gear- duct tape, bailing wire
14) boxes of antispetic hand/face wipes for regular hygeine
15) a big sweaty wad of money, the bigger the better
When there is water to help w/the cleanup, a small pressure washer would be nice. Share one w/a friend or two. Everyone around that type of spraying should wear goggles and wash face & hands every 30 minutes.

IMO, don't mess w/cheap tools. This is industrial strength work & requires stout stuff that will w/stand serious leverage & misuse by unskilled labor. Hope this helps.
