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 remember when I lived in San Jose.
“A huge storm is coming”
The rest of the country calls it “rain”
We had a downpour about an hour ago lasted about half an hour
LA's cement lined rivers will dump all the toxic runoff from the streets to the ocean, contaminating the beaches. The toxins cause all kinds of nasty rashes.
okay here in La Verne, Calif. Sisters felt the quake in Monrovia and granddaughter. Rain has been steady...
Climate change, NO WAY!! lolol
Hardly a breeze. I had to laugh at 80 mph winds!!!! HAHAH!!!!!
It was 5.1, we usually sleep through those, and 80 mph winds, guess the folks over at the DAILY MAIL UK have never visited the high desert around Palmdale or Lancaster during a Santa Ana wind event.
exactly!!!! It was a mild gentle rain all day... I doubt there was even a gust a 1 mph!!! LOL
I used to live near the Cajon Pass just off highway 138, that’s kite flying wind.
Santa Ana wind conditions of 100mph with gusts up to 120mph.
Try a Santa Ana condition that blows cars and big rigs right off the freeway, now that’s breezy.
Those areas aren’t really active earthquake zones, except maybe South Carolina that seems to be in an active Earthquake mode from day to day. It happened in Haiti not to long ago though.
It is an area that needs more research indeed.
The following newspaper article from...West Palm Beach!...does a decent job of explaining it.
Then there is this article that is more scholorly:

I’m currently in South Orange County around 200 yards from the ocean and there was a rain storm not any different than any other rain storms I’ve experienced here. The winds were at times probably around 35 mph which I’ve experienced here before. The wettest year I personally recall in Southern California was 1992 and this didn’t come close.
So it’s been non-stop hurricane porn these past few days so the vile and ignorant media could attribute it to the usual suspect.
Try this article:
https://www.mprnews.org/story/2017/09/20/can-hurricanes-cause-earthquakes
It’s an older study, but, there is more out there. The big one in Haiti a few years ago got me interested in the topic. A friend of mine who studies damage cost from Hurricanes and other events for Governments and insurance companies confirmed that it was indeed suspected.
The San Andreas fault is a slip fault that runs SE to NW, so, the thing to worry about is when LA and San Francisco merge.
Oh-high
The bionic woman is a schoolteacher there
I’ve been looking at windy.com every so often during the day and the highest winds in Southern Cal were maybe 20mph. Baja had stronger winds of 40mph. Nowhere did I see anything approaching 80mph.
go Tech ....
good link ...really sets the scenario, Ga Tech rules.
thanks

Historic rain KILLING ONE on mexico
Big to do about nothing in So Cal. Inland Empire area (Chino / Ontario) Maybe we got an inch of rain, if that. Not much more is coming today. Winds were next to nothing.
LOL...He came back and said “snug as a bug in a rug”...
