Hurricane Hilary reached Category 4 status on Friday morning, and the National Hurricane Center issued its first-ever tropical storm watch for Southern California, as the entire southwestern region braces for heavy rains, high surf, and flash flooding.
The storm, off the west coast of Mexico and moving northwards as of midday Friday, has maximum sustained winds of 145 mlles per hour. Hurricane watches have been issued for Baja California, and a tropical storm watch for San Diego and Orange counties.
BC News noted:
A tropical storm watch is now in effect from the California-Mexico border to the county lines between Orange and Los Angeles counties, as well as for Catalina Island, the National Hurricane Center announced this morning.
This is the first time the NHC has issued a tropical storm watch for this region of the country.
Heavy rainfall is also expected, especially in the inland mountains and desert regions, which are normally dry this time of year.

Appropriately named.
And the media spews...wait for it...CLIMATE CHANGE!
RECORDED history. Any glacier warnings for Yosemite? Damn you climageddon! Hey as long as it moves the climate emergency plans forward. Hey branDUHn admin.. 🖕
There was another Hurricane that was heading for California once , but it blew it.
Just open the NHC books from 1792. There's one in there.
History?
That’s a pretty long time...................
This one is definitely weird… off the coast of southern CA??
1792?...................was Ben Franklin doing his kite flying?.....................
Since 1850, only eight tropical cyclones have brought gale-force winds to the Southwestern United States. They are: The 1858 San Diego hurricane that was reconstructed as just missing landfall in 1858, the 1939 Long Beach tropical storm that made landfall near San Pedro in 1939, the remnants of Tropical Storm Jennifer-Katherine in 1963, the remnants of Hurricane Emily in 1965, the remnants of Hurricane Joanne in 1972, the remnants of Hurricane Kathleen in 1976, and Hurricane Nora in 1997 after it was downgraded to a tropical storm, and Hurricane Kay, which made landfall in the Baja California Sur as a Category 1 Hurricane. Kay’s remnants then passed over Southern California, which brought flooding and 100 mph (160 km/h) wind gusts to some areas in the region.
Off the Baja Peninsula now. It will fall apart quickly once it reaches around the border. Water here off of SoCal is too cold to keep up the strength. We’re being told to expect 3-6” of rain Sunday into Monday
Lets see how long it takes Newsome to declare a federal disaster
Since 1937. Before the journalist was born.
Alright, ya got me. The HRC was organized in 1948. Should’ve had THOUSANDS recorded since then but nope, only one.
I thought they called them typhoons in the Pacific or is that just the far east?
We’ve seen storms off the Baja Peninsula. There are so many threads on this storm, I can’t keep up with them all.
Nice alarmist headline. The history is this is the first time the “National Hurricane Center” has issued a warning for California. California was hit by a hurricane in 1858, and a tropical storm in 1939. But this is probably a successful attempt to instill the panic with the “I get all my news from tik-tok crowd.”
It hit Baha peninsula and has already degraded to a tropical storm per a local radio broadcast that had an actual meteorologist, not a journalist doing the reporting. Also, pretty standard, since those “hurricanes” approach from the southwest (warm waters) and then hit much colder waters. Oh well, getting believable science from journalism majors is akin to getting a complete sentence from Creepy Joe or the Ho.
Hurricane Hillary hit category 5 decades ago, and is still
twisting this way and that, with a lot of subliminal coup-
like, anti-Constitutional, and sub-human damage.
The death toll is still hard to pin down.
Hilary blows......................first time in history...................
