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.. đź–•
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??
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.
Lets see how long it takes Newsome to declare a federal disaster
Since 1937. Before the journalist was born.
I thought they called them typhoons in the Pacific or is that just the far east?
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.
Sounds odd. It’s not at all uncommon for remnants of typhoons to hit So Cal, sometimes with the remnants streaming all the way up here to northern CA. As another poster noted, the water off shore is too cold to support them as hurricanes along the coast, but they can carry substantial remaining moisture inland. Sounds like fear porn, as others have suggested
LA washed away by Hillary. You can’t make this stuff up!! Prayers for the poor folks that have to endure this. The Global Warming mob will pour out their cries of worldwide destruction with SoCal being hit by the big storm!!
This could give new meaning to the term “Hillary’s a bitch”.
This may be the first watch they issued but it is far from the first tropical storm to hit kalifornia. That is a load of BS. Hyperventilation on the part of the climate change freaks.
I made this post on another thread a few days ago about hurricanes and kalifornia:
Here is a sampling just since I was born:
September 19–21, 1952: The remnants of a hurricane brought rain to mountains in southern California.
July 17–19, 1954: The remnants of a hurricane moved into Arizona, bringing rain to the state and parts of California.
October 1–6, 1958: The remnants of a hurricane moved into Arizona, causing heavy rain in that state and in parts of California.
September 9–10, 1960: The remnants of Hurricane Estelle generated rain over California.
September 17–19, 1963: Tropical Storm Jennifer-Katherine dissipated over northern Baja California, and dropped several inches of rain over California.
September 4–5, 1965: Hurricane Emily's remnants brought rainfall to California.
September 9–12, 1976: Hurricane Kathleen crossed the Baja California peninsula moved into California as a tropical storm. Yuma, Arizona reported sustained winds of 57 mph. Rains from Kathleen caused catastrophic damage to Ocotillo, California and killed three to six people. (This cut completely new washes through Jacumba and completely changed the hydrologic topography of the area)
August 18–19, 1977: Hurricane Doreen degenerated into a remnant low off the coast of California. The remnants moved inland and caused flooding and crop damage as 7.01 inches of rain fell on Yuma Valley, Arizona.
October 6–7, 1977: Hurricane Heather's remnants moved into Arizona, bringing 8.30 inches of rain to Nogales, Arizona and up to 14 inches of rainfall to the adjacent mountains. The remnants also brought significant rainfall to southern California. This led to significant flooding in both states.
September 5–6, 1978: Tropical Depression Norman made landfall in California. Its remnants produced several inches of rain. (I was assigned to Vandenberg AFB in 1978, the hurricane flooded that area in the central coast and washed out bridges at the base.)
Personally, we have seen two Noras come through causing flooding in California and Arizona since we have lived in this region starting in 1992.
The bottom line is that weather like this is not uncommon, unusual or different. It is part of a well established pattern
Fingers crossed, at least SF streets will get washed.
That’s because watches are fairly recent. They had a sizable storm in 39. There weren’t watches then.
They could probably say first tropical storm to hit on a Sunday or third week in august and be correct. It doesn’t make it unprecedented.
