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 in Northern San Diego county.

What winds? What gusts?

Mild, warm rain all day long.

I’ve been waiting for wind all day. Perhaps it’s just not here yet, or more inland. Here, it’s nothing.

With a magnitude 5.0 you take notice but are not alarmed. Winds are a different thing. They knock-down trees and power lines which start fires.

Glad to see the firsthand reports from fellow freepers. Also glad everyone is okay. I’m sure if I turned on the media whores selling climate swallop, it would be a very different story.

The Previous Lubavitcher Rebbe wrote a Torah magazine in the 1940s and mentioned, based on Tehillim (Psalm) 93, that before the era of the Messiah and G-d’s Light being revealed on Earth, that if people didn’t listen, there would be the “many waters” mentioned in the Psalm until the world would have to admit that all was coming from G-D Almighty. May we be awakened to true repentance first.

Old Testament stuff going down in the sunshine state.

It's almost like God is trying to warn them, right?

Matthew 24:37-39

King James Version

37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
