You don't have to buy bottles of water. Fill up empty containers: 2 liter bottles, juice bottle and empty milk jugs. Put some in your freezer now. Fill your bathtub to use as water to flush your toilet. Charge your electronics now. Have flashlights handy. Think about losing power for a few days. Good luck. From Florida.
Like Cali has NEVER had tropical storms...bahaha The media seems to be putting FEAR in the people. I guess the stores will profit from the news having people stock up like a months worth of food. bahaha
I live directly in that pink area here in Southern California and I appear be to the only one of my neighbors doing any sort of preparation for what's coming. Thanks for the update.
It’s so crazy how desert dwellers are not taking flash floods seriously. I’m a phoenix transplant in Huntington Beach and I’m like guys, this is serious lmao. I remember when we got a tropical storm run off in maricopa/pinal county and the entire metropolitan area pretty much shut down. That was 3” of rain overnight. I was trapped in San tan valley. The i10 in downtown was completely flooded with people trapped on top of their cars. I’m praying for the people in Coachella and all the surrounding valleys.
Weird😱 calm muggy cloudy still weather now In the high desert . 3200 feet - midway between LA n Vegas - I survived Hillary in the 90's I'll ride this one out too - Stay strong Apple Valley and SD
One of the few times a tropical system map like this doesn't give me anxiety living in the greater Houston area. That's how desperate I am for rain. It's been a brutal summer.
The Long Valley Caldera near Mammoth Lakes CA is in the path of the storm as well. There are signs that it is awakening after 100,000 years of slumber. And what can cause volcanic eruptions? Water that gets into the magma chamber and becomes steam..
Praying for all those needing to be eye openers and wake up to get them to prepare or leave the states affected and help the homeless and nursing homes and hospitals 😢 to be protected.
A weeks' worth of warnings for this! Wow a rainstorm for California with 45 - 60mph winds. What a joke. Maybe the 2-5 " of rain will wash the trash & used needles of the streets. About what I figured would happen.

If you’re in forecasted path Hurricane Hilary please don’t laugh it off! These storms are unpredictable heck just prepare and hunker down get some goodies pretend your camping! I have lived thru many even Cat 4 Hugo It was life changing!
I am in San Diego on Sunday at nearly 8AM in the morning and there is just little rain and no wind. Hilery Tropical storm is a BIG JOKE. Not what I expected.
The track for Hilary also matters for rainfall outcomes for coastal urban Southern California. The mountains of Southern California will produce a rain shadow if Hilary tracks east of the mountains. Weather models endlessly/historically overstate rain totals for any system where precipitation is to wrap around from the east/northeast across the mountains (the mountains clearly trouble the models a great deal). With that projected slight jog to the east by Hilary earlier today the aggressive rainfall projections for much San Diego were cut sharply. If Hilary ultimately tracks west of the mountains we in SD might see some wind; we would definitely get serious rain. However, as it stands at 300p PST my sense is rainfall totals for this event (west of the mountains) will fall far short of predictions. That said, rainfall over the eastern slopes of the Southern California mountains and over the deserts of SW California etc will be dangerous & historic.
Hey, Levi ... we got some heavy rain as that Bahamas/Florida Twave passed through Saturday morning with quite a lot of localized flooding ... hopefully we won't see any serious impacts.
Your HONESTY is appreciated. It is obviously important to stay with the FACTS. I appreciate the FACT that you do NOT interject personal opinion - as far too many do. I am glad that Texas will not get rain. I need the Shoddy ‘so-called builder’ to be FORCED to buy back the piece of crap that they threw together - in bonterra at woodforest in montgomery county Texas - prior to any rain. They dug my house - that was on property at the top of the hill - into a hole - and elevated two properties on either side of me. They have much runoff discharging - under the foundation - and up to the front door.
FYI, Texas is in a drought, so while you were praying the rain not come our way, we do need it. The farmers and cattle ranchers in TX are suffering big-time right now.
I'm hoping the it hugs the coast out in the ocean for another couple hundred miles before it dives in. Would like to see the desert get ample water. San Diego in LA and surrounding country couldn't can always benefit from more water
if you listen the wind in the storm, you can hear Hillary laughing at don the con for making history for being the only person in the usa to have 91 criminal charges across 4 indictments in 4 states all at the same time 😄😄
Board up... what? When you board up for a hurricane, you board up doors and windows. Yanno... things that houses have. Homeless don't have houses, they have tents at best, as you yourself noted. So what is there to board up? And to what? Concrete? Even mobile homes are notoriously dangerous in extreme weather, which is why people abandon them for better shelter. Putting stolen plywood around dozens or hundreds of tents is going to 1) Hurt the homeless from all the plywood flying around that presumably have nails in them and 2) piss off local business owners, stealing is a crime. Unless you're being sarcastic, then lol. lmao, even.
