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.

Yes, they’re only naming it that, for the shock value.
First time! Nonsense
Hurricane Boris hit in 1990. Dumped a lot of rain on the
region.
More tropical storms to hit California.

“RECORDED history.”
They are talking about the satellite era only lol
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.
LOL. LOL a different hurricane Hillary.......LOL.
Oh...
Smile...
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.
Usually Baja gets slammed and the residual brings monsoon rains in the desert OR the hurricane goes out to sea, and builds or just dissipates. This was the company I worked for and they're pretty good:
Inland valley east of LA, up to 10 inches vodka…
The NHC didn’t even exist until 1965.
Exactly.
Specifically, it will be some fault of some El Niño which no one ever heard of before 1997, and uses a Latino wording to acclimate US to having illegals here.
“Appropriately named.” At least with this Hilary it will not be accompanied by B...h Hilary’s Arcancide.
“First ever huh...”
They did not institute the “tropical storm” watch until 1939. This is the first one since then.
100% chance it moves to the left.
RLTW
All 4.5 billion years.
One did hit Pangea where it would eventually become Cali though. I was there. Riding my chariot across the sky...I was there.
I live in rural N Nevada-—east of Carson City.
The cloud patterns we have had today & continuing are different than ANY I have EVER seen here in over 18 years. Long ‘strings’ if puffy clouds—look like pearls on a rope.
Despite the heat we have been battling, I have shut down all the windows in garage. Overcast getting darker & clouds building from the South/West as I type this. I can see all the way to Gardnerville & the south end of the Carson Valley & the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada Range.
Hay delivery isn’t expected for another 2-3 weeks.
Need at least 2 hours to tarp it all decently when delivery comes. Grower delivers & stacks to my wishes. Have tarps/pallets with hooks/ bungees/ braided ropes for securing down tarps all ready. Found some great tarps at HARBOR FREIGHT...THANKS TO THEM !!!! Winds/heat/low humidity here are BRUTAL on hay tarps.
List of OUTSIDE chores is on hold until this all passes.
Flooding is predicted. Snow Melt from Sierra Nevada already flooded along the Walker River & the Carson river.
