Forecasters say areas of flash flooding are probable in the region Friday through Sunday. The interior mountains of Southern California could see up to 5 inches of rain, an exceptional amount...

Remnant of Hurricane Rosa in 2018 dropped 6” of rain on my home on Scottsdale.
I now watch every Baja hurricane just in case.

I think I’ve seen that same guy in other videos he’s made. Either he or his wife almost got washed away.

A mile away and 400 ft. up is a long way to hear it.
Must be some really mighty waves.

Atmospherics. Can hear the surf really clearly when the street sounds die down.

That’s amazing.

Having never lived near the ocean I don’t know if I’d like that constant sound or not.
I did on the handful of occasions I visited the coasts.
All the time might be different.

I couldn’t live away from the coast. It’s why I’m stuck in this crappy state.

I thought, if it was in the Pacific, it was a typhoon... (?)

Generally, yes, but…….

What is the difference between a hurricane and a typhoon?

https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/cyclone.html

“ Once a tropical cyclone reaches maximum sustained winds of 74 miles per hour or higher, it is then classified as a hurricane, typhoon, or tropical cyclone, depending upon where the storm originates in the world. In the North Atlantic, central North Pacific, and eastern North Pacific, the term hurricane is used. The same type of disturbance in the Northwest Pacific is called a typhoon. Meanwhile, in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean, the generic term tropical cyclone is used, regardless of the strength of the wind associated with the weather system.”

A hurricane is a hurricane and a typhoon is a typhoon. Or a Hurricane is a University of Miami student. A Typhoon was a RAF fighter plane in WW2.

Good links, Thanks!

Living in California can often be like living in one of 3 or 4 states/countries, basically ignored by each other.

So, it sounds like the first hurricane in 25 years could be hitting LA ... interesting!

LA might have semi clean streets and homeless for over a decade or more.
