Good to have a person 'on the ground' as this category 4 hurricane comes your way.  Keep us posted as long as you can.

I have family staying at the  Pueblo Bonito Pacific there, they were unable to fly out today. How much danger do you think they are in in that location?

I stayed there in June. It's up on a hillside on the western side of Cabo. It's a well built structure in a protected area . They should be ok.
