1. No forest fires this year
2. The mess from the homeless will be cleaned up.
Did I miss anything?
You FReepers and Fearless Leader In California stay safe.
Just heard they are planning on shutting off power whether it needs to be shut off or not. They are making a mountain out of a mole hill.
I thought it was down graded to cat 2 storm, why all the panic, other than the weatherman and governor promote it?
Panic buying? Does that mean the freeloaders get to ravage Walgreens and Wally World more than they do now?

Looters move in 3...2...1...
Happens every time there are evacuations for wildfires - even though the government assures this this "won't happen" b/c "boots on the ground."
So Cal - not a hint of rain. I’ll believe it when/if I see it.
You can watch it unfold - or not - in real time right here at Windy:

The hype will far exceed what the weather will bring. ‘Hillary’ has already been downgraded from 4 to 3 and I suspect it will be downgraded again before landfall.
“Orders evacuations?”
And yes, they do seem to miss the positive element. Rain, lots of rain. Hopefully every reservoir in the path or downstream of the storm could be filled. LA should be able to handle any amount of rain, Vegas probably the same. I’m sure across the region there will be areas that are flood prone but on the overall note, this should be seen as positive, the winds are going to be nothing at this point.
Well, I guess solar power generation will be impacted, so maybe Newsom should ask electric car drivers to stop charging their cars.
Sunday morning seven am. Looks like moderate dew moisture on the ground.
Hurricane force winds of zero miles per hour presently. (In truth it’s not hurricane force winds.)
It may kick up later. I’m expecting a big fizzle out of this, but maybe I’m wrong.
We’ll see.
“The state has prepared water rescue teams, California National Guard personnel and flood fighting equipment ahead of Hilary’s arrival, officials said.”
How many suicides are they expecting?
The storm has fizzled for us in Arizona where we were goung to get our years worth of rain in one storm. We measured 0.57" of rain.
The benefit was a nice cool day or two before we go back into the 100's. It is August in Arizona after all a fact the climate doom sayers apparently choose to ignore while looking for their worst ever recorded records.
Correction:
“...panic looting sweeps stores...”
They're expecting apocalyptic rains, so they're buying water. Brilliant.
Why do I keep thinking this is going to be a dud of a storm?
I live in San Diego and have seen none of this. No rushes on stores. No empty shelves. No panic. No evacuation orders.
I have seen tons of old storm and flood videos on social media being passed off as Hurricane Hilary.
What will their astute senator DiFi advise?
I’m waiting for her rush to the microphones.
