Hurriquake in California: State is hit by 5.1 magnitude earthquake as Hilary hits LA and San Diego with 80mph winds and historic rain after killing one in Mexico

California has been hit by a 5.1 magnitude earthquake as Hurricane Hilary hits LA and San Diego with 80mph winds.

The quake centered in Ventura County was felt across parts of Southern California on Sunday afternoon.

The center is reported to have been four miles southeast of Ojai, about 80 miles northwest of Los Angeles.

Shaking was reported in Malibu, Porter Ranch, parts of Los Angeles, Manhattan Beach and other locations.

A tornado warning has also been issued for San Diego and the surrounding Alpine and Descanso areas.

The National Weather Service released the warning at t 3:39 p.m. on Sunday local time, and will last until 4pm.

The United States Geological Survey, which reports and records earthquakes, said there were at least four aftershocks of magnitude-3.0 or greater.

It comes as Hurricane Hilary makes landfall in Southern California moving up from Mexico at speeds of 25mph, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Residents are contending with winds of 65mph and the expectation of torrential rain, that may bring up to ten inches in a matter of hours in some places.

At least one person has already died after their vehicle was swept away near Santa Rosalía, after catastrophic flooding swallowed parts of Mexico's Baja California Peninsula.

I’m about 100 miles from the quake’s epicenter. Sitting at my computer, I felt a gentle rolling motion and wondered if it was an earthquake. When I saw the window blinds swinging back and forth, I knew it was.

60 - 70 mph straight line winds aren’t unusual during spring thunderstorms around here. Generally not a big deal. It’s the hail that runs up the costs. First few times I went through those, I’d check to see if the board fence had blown over. Never did.

These BS headlines...within the article is the winds by locations...Joshua tree expecting 80 which is the only location...everywhere else is much lower, although still strong...43MPH winds in San Diego is not unheard of. The Santa Anna winds blow that hard nearly every year.

Peak wind gusts could hit as high as 81 mph at Joshua Tree National Park and 67 mph in Wrightwood.

In Anaheim peak gusts could hit 62 mph, 60 mph in Irvine, 58 in Palm Springs and Ontario, 54 in Big Bear Lake, 52 in Riverside, 46 in San Clemente, 43 in San Diego and 41 in San Bernardino.

In Los Angeles County, possible peak wind gusts could be 44 mph in Santa Clarita and Lancaster, 40 in Northridge and Westlake Village, 35 in Avalon on Catalina Island, 32 in Pomona, 31 in Pasadena, 30 in Long Beach, 29 in downtown Los Angeles and 26 in Redondo Beach.

Day After Day, more people come to LA.
Shhh! Don't you tell anybody that the whole place is slipping away.
Where can we go when there's no San Francisco?
Better get ready to tie up the boat in Idaho.

No.

FYI.

It’s not big. It’s in the mountains.

Mail loves sensationalism.

I’m in Orange County, CA..rain slow & steady all day, hardly any wind.
Every local news channel has their crews out on “storm watch”, covering a nothing burger.

Is it shaking the crap out of California?

Have to be a lot more potent than a 5.2 for that to have any chance of happening.

There no no 80 mph gusts.

The tropical storm winds are 60 mph and slowing all the time. It’s not a hurricane.

It’s raining. Not hard. No winds yet.

You can tell the media disappointed not more destruction so can push more climate hysteria.

South Orange county, light rain and wind so far. Didn’t feel the earthquakes north of Los Angeles.

They don’t live anywhere close to where this storm will affect.

It might rain in Fresno.

Here’s a map.

"Did you feel the quake?" 100%. Rolling, up and down, back and forth for thirty seconds. Like sitting on the deck of a ship at sea.

Did you even feel the earthquake? I didn’t and I’m about 60 miles away.

But I got an alert on my phone to take cover etc…

They just try to spread fear.

Maybe harder rain and wind will hit later but it’s hardly a big deal.
