Situation report by Rick Barber - Pelican Reef Real Estate Center - www.mulege-mls.com - 9-6-2009 at 03:16 PM
Mulege- north side of the river: Widespread destruction. Don Chano’s was hit hard and little is left. I don’t know if anything is salvageable. If I get a reliable report on that question, I’ll report it. El Patron is gone I’m afraid. It’s a total rebuild if Tim decides to do that. Information is a bit more sketchy about Pancho Villas but I think it’s a good assumption that the report is the same as that for the el Patron.
Mulege- south side: Everything on the south side, from the bridge to and including the Serenidad took a major hit. Damage was worse closer to the bridge. For all practical purposed, the Orchard is wasted. The first row has only three houses left and there are some missing homes in the second row as well. Rows three and four are probably repairable in most cases. I’m checking this morning on rebuilding requirements for the area. Be aware that the city may decide to hold a moratorium on rebuilding as they have done in the past. The length and scope of such moratoriums varies. I’m going to ask the government officials today if they have implemented such a moratorium and, if so, what the restrictions are. The Oasis fared a little better at least in the sense that total destruction was less noticeable. There is a lot of what I would call partial destruction- roofs, rooms, garages, storage buildings, trailers… that sort of thing.
Jungle area, Marybelle’s - reports of “intermittent” damage, mainly to out buildings and/or partial damage to structures. More later after I’ve had a chance to get in there today (hopefully) and check it out more closely.
Posada Concepcion - Took a major hit. I have pictures of widespread damage. I did not see any pictures of what I would consider total destruction but, after review, the decision of the owners in some cases may be not to rebuild.
Burro and Coyote- Reports from Geary Ritchie (Burro) of a lot of damage. Reports are sketchy as he didn’t give me a full report. He just said that they took a big hit. I would expect something like Posada, probably a little less but that is pure speculation on my part… something I do not like to do. I’m just reading between the lines. I’ll try to get more information today.
