Hurricane Hilary delivering a rare Tropical Storm to Southern California * 1
    #28439154 - 08/19/23 10:56 AM (5 months, 7 days ago)

I live on the north end of Los Angeles, up against the San Gabriel mountain range.  Folks around my area have been receiving emergency alerts about a big ass storm (currently known as Category 4 Hurricane Hilary) moving north off the Pacific coast of Mexico, that is anticipated to pass through southern California and into Nevada as a bona fide tropical storm.  The last tropical storm to make landfall in southern California occurred in 1939, and so Hurricane Hilary has prompted the US National Hurricane Center to issue its first ever tropical storm watch for southern California.

   


If the storm shifted west and came up along the coast, I'd be a little more concerned, however its currently set to pass by us east of the San Gabriels, so we will ideally be somewhat shadowed from its primary deluge.  The Baja peninsula and subsequent path over the mainland will slow down the wind speeds considerably and there won't be an actual hurricane up here in Los Angeles, but I suspect I'll probably see 2-5 inches of rain over 24-36 hours here in the foothills.  The risk of extreme winds and more than 5" of rain seems somewhat low given the current track of the storm.

   


Rainfall projections for the next 48 hours from Windy.com:

   


Nevertheless, I am right on the edge of a potential high impact zone.  If for whatever reason the storm does shift westward, I'd guess perhaps up to 10 inches of rain, but I think that's a very low probability scenario at this point.  My fam has water, emergency food, medicines, power banks and camp gear stocked.  Now so long as my son starts feeling better* and the rest of my fam doesn't get covid, I'm looking forward to a little weather!


*After a summer completely free from illness, it only took three days of first grade for my boy to wake up in the middle of a night with a fever, vomit his breakfast all over himself and the couch, and test positive for covid yesterday.  Fortunately, he kept some decent food down for dinner and slept rather well, waking up much improved this morning.  Unfortunately, I now have some pressure building in my ears, so fingers crossed that my immune system is up to the impending task!

Were in the FV/HB area of OC. From what I have been told HB is more or less the direct target of this storm. We have been getting alerts to expect power outages, etc..

I need to do a few things to prepare for a worst case scenario, which would be some flooding issues on our patio, and in a planter area that I have been digging out. Rain gutters, mow the lawn (so it doesnt grow like 10 inches over the next 3-4 days). A few sandbags (which we already have), and thats about it.

I dont expect my day to change as a result, still planning on playing cards with friends tomorrow, and trying to use the smoker haha.

That Windy.com site is pretty cool.  I just put together this compilation for the projected wind gusts from the storm:

Woah, that makes it look like much more of a direct hit on our area. I had googled the storm path after originally posting in here, it didnt quite give the same visual appearance.

Have mowed the lawns, put weights on the hottub cover, now just need to take some stuff to donations so it doesnt get blown around our backyard, and should be good :laugh:

My lady's mom lives in the foothills of the San Gabriel Valley 1/4mi from the old la river. She doesn't want to believe the risk her place could be at, thinks it will all be fine. :banghead:

Let me guess, your lady's mom is a right-winger?  They seem to not be able to understand science.

Yeah, I specifically chose the "wind gusts" layer, because general wind speed wasn't nearly as dramatic looking. :lol:

Unless you're up on top of a mountain or something, wind gusts would appear to top out at around 35mph in the city regions of LA, which isn't too bad.  Can definitely cause a bit of damage, but no where near hurricane status.  You can see the thing expected to break up as soon as it clips the baja peninsula.

But yeah, as you are a bit farther south, you might get some heavier action in the midnight hours on Sunday! :shiftyeyes:

If Trump hadn't been conspired against by the evil libtardo democuckz working to undermine what should've rightfully been his 2nd term then he would've already had this ol' gal locked up long before she could've stirred up any of the trouble that's now quickly coming to the good people of California.  :intardnet:

Remember people, when the pictures and videos of the devastation come out from Hurricane Hilary be sure to ignore those and post pictures of how beautiful the landscape normally is.

Hot damn brother, I really didn't mean to strike such a nerve with you by posting a few pictures I'd taken in Hawaii, talking about my gratitude for Lahaina's Banyan tree, or otherwise highlighting that the ecological landscape of Hawaii is likely to recover rather quickly.  I posted those things out of fond remembrance, reverence and appreciation.  Nevertheless, I recognize that everyone grieves differently, so I'm not taking offense to your apparent offense, just tryin' to clear the air 'cause I'm really not one for the drama.

I hope you and everyone over in that area stays safe and dry.
