 Dear BajaInsider Subscriber:

First, an alert to travelers: Grupo Mexicana, parent company to Mexicana Airlines, announced suspension of all flight operations as of noon Aug 28. We have the facts and links to apply for your refund.

It looks like we'll get through this final week of August without a hurricane. Hurricane Frank has now dissipated, but had us on our toes earlier this past week. As every week, August through mid October we take a look at the threats ahead with the Hurricane Watch Report. When a tropical cyclone forms we track it every 6hrs until Watches or Warnings are issued, then we update every 3hrs on our Tropical Watch Weather and individual active hurricane pages. We will issue special Insider Updates to our subscribers of Watches or Warnings include Baja. Remember our live weather station in La Paz as well. In the event of a tropical cyclone our special Baja hurricane coverage is the most trusted English weather reported directly for Baja Sur, we'll update online constantly as the electricity holds out.

Our Publisher, James Glover connects the upcoming Burning Man event in Nevada with Baja and it is more than just both have deserts. Lots of folks from Baja enjoy this celebration of life, an interesting twist on the Baja experience.

So, without further ado... here are the latest stories on the BajaInsider!
