By Tim Henry | August 30, 2017 | La Paz, Baja California |

It seems that Harvey is not the only storm of note in the Northern Hemisphere at the moment. We’re receiving early reports that a tropical storm is headed for La Paz in Baja California, Mexico. 

Multiple storms making (or threatening to make) landfall in North America. Tropical Storm 14 is projected to hit La Paz late Thursday evening.

Winds in La Paz are forecast to reach up to 50 miles an hour by late Thursday and early Friday, according to weather.com.

If you are in the La Paz area and can safely correspond with us about the warnings, preparations and conditions as the storm approaches, please let us know.

Our best wishes to everyone in Mexico. Please stay safe.
