Two good facets for Southern California as Hilary arrives. First, she’s losing power and has dropped into strong tropical storm strength. Second, she’s moving north very fast at 25 mph, which is contributing to the weakening. The storm event should be complete for the state in less than 24 hours. That said, the rain and flooding look to be the biggest issue for the region. [NHS Information]
Six to ten inches of heavy rain with sustained winds of 40 mph+, with higher gusts, can create major issues for an area of hard soil that doesn’t generally get large amounts of rain in a short period of time. Washed out roads, fallen trees, flash flooding and other significant risks associated with this scale of rain are the major concern. As with most storms of this type, if you are in higher elevation areas the wind will be much stronger.
Hurricane Center – {…] At 800 AM PDT (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Hilary was located near latitude 29.7 North, longitude 115.9 West. Hilary is moving quickly toward the north-northwest near 25 mph (41 km/h). Hilary is expected to accelerate even more as it moves north-northwestward to northward during the next day or so. On the forecast track, the center of Hilary will move near or over the northern portion of the Baja California Peninsula during the next few hours, and then move across southern California this afternoon.

All preparations should be completed and everyone in the zone of largest impact should remain indoors for the next 24 hours. Power failures are highly likely as the storm will knock out electricity throughout the region. [Good luck to those with EV’s] In the hours immediately following the storm, do not travel. Stay close to home as the emergency service and first responders will activate to the areas of greatest issue.
We have quite a few Treepers in this area. Check in when you can and if you need anything send us an email or drop a comment, I will be checking throughout. The biggest issue I would foresee is the potential for weakened infrastructure, roads, bridges and systems that perhaps have not encountered high pressure or stress for many years.
Always take these things seriously, but do not alarm yourself with dark imaginings. Be prudent, be wise and be safe. Focus on the immediate area around your home, pull your family in close, watch out for each other and mitigate risks from a 100-foot perspective. [If “it” (a risk or threat) is within 100′, that’s your focus.]
Fast moving, which is a good thing.
Lots of rain coming into an area that doesn’t usually get much rain…. that’s not so good.
(VIA CNN) […] Electricity utility Southern California Edison – which serves more than 15 million people in the region – said Thursday Hilary is on track to impact much of its service area. The company said it is preparing to respond to outages but urged residents to gather supplies including flashlights, external battery chargers and ice chests.
Additionally, roadways may be closed “proactively” out of an abundance of caution to ensure safety, according to Tony Tavares, director of the Department of Transportation.
[…] Brian Ferguson, deputy director of the Office of Emergency Services, told CNN Saturday the office is “all hands on deck” for Hurricane Hilary preparation. He said the office is particularly monitoring desert regions as they prepare for heavy rainfall and potential flooding.
“We’re keeping a very close eye on our desert regions, east of San Diego and Los Angeles. Some parts of these areas may receive double their yearly amount of water in just a single day,” he said. “Certainly, we are going to be watching very carefully for flash floods, mudslides and debris flows in that area, looking at the burn scars from fires that have happened in recent years.”
The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s department issued an evacuation warning for the communities of Oak Glen, Forest Falls, Mountain Home Village, Angelus Oaks, and Northeast Yucaipa. Visitors to Catalina Island, as well as residents with medical, access and functional needs, were “strongly encouraged” to leave the island ahead of the storm in a news release from the City of Avalon.

She’s a screamer
Will Joe Biden’s Lake Tahoe Vacation Be Impacted by Path of Hurricane Hilary?
I’m developing a nervous tic from seeing the name Hilary splashed across my TV non-stop today
I just thought it was me. It made me hyperventilate.
anyone interested in that graphic, CC has posted an animated video downthread
it’s a scream, guaranteed
Oh please let this happen!
Biden will use this as an excuse to delay/ cancel his appearance in Hawaii
perfect
And she thought she was immune from tracking, LOL.
You beat me to it. 🤣
Hilary destroys everything she touches. Now it’s Californicide!
https://babylonbee.com/news/hilary-makes-landfall-destroys-over-30000-emails
CALIFORNIA — Hurricane Hilary made landfall today in California, quickly destroying tens of thousands of emails upon her arrival.
“My house is fine, but my email server — annihilated,” said San Diego resident Jim McKay. “Nature is so weird like that.”
California has a serious dam problem – a good amount of their dams have been rated in “poor condition”
They have been tearing some down –
but they let it happen….and My give a crap light is out
Gavin does as he pleases. Transplant Auntie Nancy and her nephew have done their damndest to destroy this state.
Believe me when I tell you they had lots of insider political “DEEP STATE” help and a helping dose of backing from the Banality of Evil.
After they finished with California, they began work in earnest on the United States.
Best wishes from North Carolina to you California treepers.
♥️🇺🇲
We got a damn problem alright… it’s called the Environazis in San Franciskovich and the Duma in Sacramentograd.
If only we could get rid of the Pravda Propaganda from Hollywoodski…
I still think CA is red –> purple.
I remember all those rallies/mini-rallies in blue areas, including in front of the Cardiff Kook in my town on Election Day. People drove by honking in approval.
When Trump went to a fundraiser — not even a rally — Newport Beach had a mile long crowd lining PCH to wave as his motorcade drove by.
1.5 million primary voters (?) in a non-contested primary.
And 2022 midterm election night was a huge storm, rain like today, with streets flooded… yet people stood in long lines in the rain — although we all had mail-in voting. The FRAUD is astounding–I realized that 20 years ago when I polled all the illegals and DREAMers I knew, which at the time was a lot. Most didn’t know voting was illegal for them. No audits, bloated rolls. Now it’s vastly worse
I agree!!! Ballot harvesting has screwed us into a blue state…. I wish we could get Jay Valentine and his quantum software to clean up our voting databases… but I think they need a corporate sponsor, or someone with pockets deeper than mine…
California is a prime example of the fears of the founding fathers when declaring that the will of the people will possibly include voting themselves money from the treasury. There are so many people with their hands out in this state that it’s actually comical to se the Democrat run government try to keep their constituents happy when they’ve spent it all!
Seems like it was by design with help from the Ted Kennedy immigration policies that ALL of the CONgress backed against the people they “represent”.
“Time indeed changes manners and notions, and so far we must expect institutions to bend to them. But time produces also corruption of principles, and against this it is the duty of good citizens to be ever on the watch, and if the gangrene is to prevail at last, let the day be kept off as long as possible.” – Thomas Jefferson
“The first consideration in immigration is the welfare of the receiving nation. In a new government based on principles unfamiliar to the rest of the world and resting on the sentiments of the people themselves, the influx of a large number of new immigrants unaccustomed to the government of a free society could be detrimental to that society. Immigration, therefore, must be approached carefully and cautiously.” – Thomas Jefferson
Seriously, if machines were outlawed, if we had one day voting, and if the voter roles were cleaned up…
If folks like my grandparents and great grandparents, and great- great- great grandparents (all the way back to the primeval slime) were not voting from their current home in the clouds —
California would be pretty red.
40 of California’s 56 counties use the same brand voting machines. You get one guess. I got this info from the California state website awhile back. I don’t know whether the state still considers it something to brag about, now.
Dam it Jim, I’m only a doctor!
LOL!!! 😂😂
Like NOLA they stole monies for 60 years letting the levees disintegrate.
Speaking of crap….
Truly an ill wind blows no good.
That is debatable …
“The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep’s for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as his liberator, while the wolf denounces him for the same act as the destroyer of liberty. Plainly, the sheep and the wolf are not agreed upon a definition of liberty.” – Abraham Lincoln
I know it’s wrong, but I laughed.
Hey, it’s an opportunity to associate Hillary with the word feces
I’ll take it !
Here in Tulare County, CA (south central San Joaquin Valley) we have had several light rains today. No wind at all. It’s a delightful day with temp at 74 approaching 2 pm and overcast.
According to local weather the heavy rain is supposed to start in an hour or so.
Yesterday we had a pretty good rain in the afternoon, maybe 1/4 inch (for CA that’s a good rain). The helicopters had been coming and going from the Porterville Airport up into the Sierra Nevadas so I assumed there was a fire somewhere in the mountains. The helicopters stopped after the rain so hopefully it put the fire out.
The temp at 74 is a great break from last weeks 106 for 5 days straight.
do you pronounce it too-lahh-ray or too-lair?
They got Buena Vistas in a couple places and a couple of ’em they pronounce it byoona-vista
cracks me up every time I hear it
It’s pronounced like “to Larry”. Thanks for asking Nim!
My niece and family live in Tulare.
Too Larry
Would love those temps here in Missouri. Was 110 degrees here. Gonna be over 100 for the next 5 days.
I didn’t know it got that hot in Missouri!
We were just at the under construction La Quinta in Tulare on Tuesday night through Wednesday morning. It was quite hot!
On Wednesday morning my wife met a camel in the parking lot. She peeked into a trailer and expected a horse. It wanted to say “hi”. She didn’t!
Hopefully you’ll get enough rain to reduce the fire anxiety, but not too much!
I did the same thing once. I was leaning against a horse trailer in Virginia City. An ostrich stuck its head out with those big googly eyeballs. I screamed. I was expecting a horse — and I got a bug eyed “monster” with a big ole beak instead.
Reed Timmer live chasing.
He said when the water comes down from the mountains, the catastrophic flooding will appear, on Monday.
I watch Reed’s chases online. He is great! Never stop chasing!
It has flash flood warnings now.
San Bernardino Mountains getting a deluge right now.
I’ve lived thru many Hurricanes in Miami (5ml from beach) and Jupiter (1ml from beach). In San Diego now with light sprinkles all day and mild winds. Worse rains in Feb/March this year and the Santa Anna Winds are 2-3x stronger. Center (I can’t bring myself to call it “the Eye”) will be offshore about 4 local with a little more rain and wind moving to approx 15mph with gusts. For you Floridians…think of a lazy, rainy, 74deg afternoon.
Santa Anas…. we have a pretty large 2nd story deck… with a gazebo.
About 15 years ago I got a call at work from my retired neighbor. “Tony, your rooftop gazebo is on your front yard, in pieces”.
Turns out the wind picked it up, flew it over my house, my neighbor’s house and landed about 80 feet away, blocking his front door. He had to walk out his garage, take it apart and bring it over my yard.
The thing was one of those metal gizmos with the legs filled with sand. a 12×12 jobbie that likely weighted like 500 lbs, or more.
And rain? Wake me up when the Pineapple Express comes along… THOSE are BIG storms.
Jupiter was home sweet home for many years, moved north across county line about 20 years ago.
JD Park is backyard now.
Enjoy the view…

Los Angeles 2:00 P.M. Pacific Time Update:
Rainy and breezy. Feeling drowsy. May take a nap. I hope I get through this.
sounds like good sleeping weather
Laughing out loud – for real.
Reservoirs will top off again and Newsome will let water out again so he can claim water shortage.
again
Cue the “Save Water” commercials.. (as they empty dams and landscape freaking freeways, meridians, and housing developments full of thirsty trees and lawns!😡)
It’s the wettest drought on record.
Thank God the corrupt Leftist & Woke, not to mention totally criminally incompetent Emergency Management of Hawaii is not on duty in SoCal this week.
I’m in San Fernando Valley. The earthquake felt like my cat jumping up on the headboard and having to claw a little. I wouldn’t have known if no alert on my phone.
I live in Ventura and while everyone has panicked over wind and rain, just had 6+ earthquake! What a sense of humor God has.
Early earthquake reading set at 5.0- centered in Ojai, per KFI Radio (think Michael Jackson and Oprah). Very gentle swaying felt in Palos Verdes.
We did get a warning on the cellphone during the quake. Perhaps this is a foreshock?

I live in Ojai. Definitely felt it .
5 aftershocks. A few things fell off of one shelf during the initial quake.
Ad rem: The earthquake woke me from my nap. This is getting out of hand.
LOL….the internet is calling it a “Hurriquake”.
as if there’s no conceivable thing in this universe called ‘coincidence’, right?
next they’ll be calling it a “climate-change Hurriquake”
“Hurriquake”?
Is that a new trial term for their Global Boiling BS Narratives?
are you in RPV? Hope the landslide area that formed a couple of weeks ago is well protected
Gawd….I know! First thing we all thought of were those poor peeps in the landslide area. Most of that area has been evacuated, however, I’m sure those who still reside on the perimeter will have a few sleepless nights. 🙁
i am in RHE, dad 98 and I have my opportunity for my 10-day visits for dinners and introducing AI to him…going home tuesday
Listen up and make what you want out of it.
1-2 years ago an ‘earthquake’ happened in Turkey that was “strategic.”
It absolutely was.
I think we have a winner!
Oprah…Maui
Oprah…earthquake in Ojai
She brings joy wherever she goes….kinda like the “lightbringer” !
Blightbringers.
2:30 Pm. Chihuahua Valley, elevation 4200 feet. West of Borrego, East of Palomar Mountain in North San Diego County. Heavy sustained winds ( 40mph plus) with gusts up to 70mph (according to national weather service) and very heavy rain. (1″ per hour). I have two massive Oak trees down…maybe more; but no structure damage. Feather Creek (runs through my property) is running full. Hwy 78 is closed in several places with boulders aand mud covering the roadway.
The storm is very real here and showing no sign of letting up.
Take care. Praying.
Oh boy! Debris flow city.. stay frosty. Could be worse, you could be of lower elevation where the agglomeration flowing loosened stuff+H20 is often greater.
Stay safe.
Never good to be in the bullseye.
We’re north just across the county line on 79 (which I think you meant rather than 78?), 2000 feet, hardly any wind and lots of rain.
Glad to hear no structure damage. Hope you’re okay, sorry for the clean-up you’re facing.
(If you ever go to Shadow Mtn, hubby has been first Saturday of the month regular performer for the last year.)
ROTLOL
A moderate earthquake occurred at 2:41:01 PM (PDT) on Sunday, August 20, 2023.
The magnitude 5.1 event occurred 7 km (4 miles) SE of Ojai, CA.
The hypocentral depth is 15 km ( 9 miles).
We didn’t notice it.
The local corporate propaganda machine are gonna be in trouble.. they are so busy with the propaganda that they have no resources left for real news.
5.1.
Nothing burger.
Light/medium rain falling, 71F, 92% humidity, very light winds. About 1.4 inches total since 7AM. Coastal OC.
No BBQ’ing today.
Bummer.
No surface winds here in north county San Diego. Just a steady rain all day. Getting a good drenching for my thirsty back yard.
Even though the eye will travel through the east part of San Diego County it seems like we are somehow shadowed from the worst west of the mountains. The deserts and Los Angeles are getting heavier rains and flooding. Wind here hasn’t gotten much stronger than 12 MPH in the coastal areas as of 3 pm pst and is mostly in the single digits. There’s still 12 hours or so to go so keeping vigilant.
We live in the La Crescenta Valley above Glendale and this is no heavier or constant than the rains we had earlier this year, day after day. However, there was just a 5.0 earthquake 4 miles from Ojai and I felt it. That’s most unusual since Ojai is 75 miles away. I think Hilary has lost her power.
Add an earthquake!
In my County, not far from me. Downtown Ojai practically on top of it. A huge jerk, a real shaker. They keep downgrading it from 6.0, 5.5 to 5.1. Also the min it happened we knew by Ojai from quick phone use, but MSM isn’t proclaiming OJAI CA like you think they would.
AND a bigger earthquake off the coast, closer to Mexico, while the storm was still mostly there, in the early am hours. AND everyone on Nextdoor app talking about the chemical smell of the rain. Jus sayin!
We’ll probably find out that it’s all the CO2 being stored underground to get to Net 0 that has causal effect on earthquakes. Just like coastal windmills causing whales to beach themselves and die. Btw whatever happened to “Save The Whales”?
“Save the whales
“Save the whales, now
“Save the whales
“Save those funky whales, now
“Save the whales …”
.
“… Nuke the seals”

I just checked scede.caltech.edu for recent earthquakes and there have been 45 or so earthquakes in Ojai in the last 2 days!!
Add some earthquakes in Idaho and Montana, same path as the Storm!
AND NBC local news, like we’re CA dumb, seems like it was all set up to announce a TIDAL SURGE doing its best initially to not mention the epicenter was in the mtns of Ojai. Didn’t work for the one in the Gulf of CA early am, so they mention it in the same breath as an Advisory to Evacuate Catalina Island. That may or may not be right considering it’s a giant mud hill, but to say out of context like it’s in danger of a Tidal Surge tells the story they had prepped.
AND, in Ventura County near the beach, coming from Pt Mugu Navy base, we were told there would be all these extra planes at the base until the 21st, alluding to the Camarillo airshow as the reason. BUT the non stop grumbling noises being heard were from jets that couldn’t be seen and were so called practicing at around midnight o:
Geoengineering
Heavy metals…
Aluminum, barium strontium, graphine oxide..and more
We are in Ventura county too. Felt the 5.1 and the 3.9. Have had steady rain since 11. My wife and I commented that we smell something in the rain.
I did too. Did you see the discussion on ND? Lots smelled it. Interesting were those trying to say it was usual for like Mexican and Asian storms. I have been in both and it doesn’t smell like that.
My daughter in Malibu says the roads through the canyon are likely to close, due to mudslides and falling boulders. On top of that, she just texted that her and her roommates just experienced a 5.5 level earthquake that felt like their townhome was bending.
Yeah. It was a 5.1 out of Ojai. That’s in Ventura County and about 20 miles inland from Malibu. Ojai is having a swarm of earthquakes.
Ojai CA is having a earthquake swarm. Like 15 since 2:17 PM local. Felt the 5.1 and 3.9 earthquakes in Thousand Oaks.
Wondering if they relate to the tropical storm?
We got the early bands here in Havasu staring Friday night. Rained nonstop until late last night, but not hard enough for any flash flooding. Looks like the main event is over San Diego and up to the LA area and mountains.
Cat 2, moving that fast. Nothing to worry about, folks. Kommiefornia drama queens.
Rain just began picking up about 15 minutes ago in San Diego. Steady, drenching rain with no wind and high humidity. Feels like Hawaii.
Yea I get it.
The so called climate change hurricane is horrible, but but the liberal state of Washington is in the news begging for the climate change hurricane to bring them much needed rain with tears in their eyes.
So what is it.
All of the above. Drought, rain, snow, heat, cold, hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, earthquakes, volcano erruptions, tsunamis, and low attendance at Disney.
TS Hillary and now an Earthquake nearby this afternoon won’t stop the Saints game in LA today. Go Saints!
They just had a 5.5 earthquake hit L.A.
Not LA. Ojai. Ventura County. Felt it.
Hurriquake
Perhaps some kids got a hold of the DEW keyboards and are wildly tapping away to push the evil climate change $$$$ grabbing
OR
New hire technicians with no skills BUT checked all of the boxes for the administrative state.
AND………. Now an Earthquake
Right now, north San Diego county is experiencing the hardest rain so far. Winds are negligible.
Raining steady at 4 pm in Malibu.
Not raining hard here right now in southeastern Los Angeles County, but did feel the earthquake about an hour and a half ago.
5.0 centered in Ojai. Son in Santa Barbara felt it before we did in LA, and called us right as we felt it.
who knew Cankle’s a tranny
The wind will damage almost nothing. We get 60-70 mph winds in my area several times every spring. The rain could be a different issue, I have seen Tropical Storms that dumped over a foot of rain because the squalls slow down and hover around until they have rained all they can. Desert environments don’t do well in heavy and long rains because they only happen about every 50-100 years and the soil erosion of the banks of drainage streams and rivers can take out large chunks of land. Flood waters will not be as bad as the massive soil erosion that can occur. Rains like this can form new canyons where none existed before. Be very careful to keep an escape route open if you live close to any streams or arroyos. Power lines can be pulled down by floating telephone poles, so power outages can happen. Good luck and stay out of the canyons.
Now we all know why Ed never left!!
Moscow After Dark! Lot’s of nice restaurants and cafes. People are happy, well dressed and no criminals lurking anywhere in view! Beautiful Russian women by the hundreds, too.
Don’t know who Ed is, but is Ed a SIMP?
Libby – Try Edward Snowden.
Wow, that used to be our city of New York until the leftists moved in.
Yuma Arizona here, we had a full grown willow tree fall across the street no rain yet just super windy.
Prayers of safety for all two- and four-legged creatures.
LA just closed their schools. Just got a Flash Flood Alert one county over that expires at 8 pm. Maybe every storm where it’s hotter than 70 degrees will be called Tropical and they will close the schools in CA.
Good to hear “she’s losing power”, if you know what I mean 😉
Bet she still has plenty of methane gas.
fantastic!
thank goodness for people wit skilz
Amen sundance. Let us pray for all of our fellow residents in the affected areas. Lord hear our prayers.
I’m in SoCal, and for us it is pretty overblown. We’ve had light winds and so far 1 1/2″ of rain cumulative, and no heavy downpours. Our local USGS streamflow gauges (available online) are not at any historical highs, it was much worse last winter with much larger storms and downpours.
If I might ask Treepers to pray to our Heavenly father I have a good friend in Eastern LA /San Bernardino I have not heard from him which I realize isn’t all that unusual given the circumstances but he and his family are right in the thick of a large cell. Any Treepers so inclined please pray for my friend Gavino and his family.
Wind just now starting in our San Diego neighborhood at 5pm, rain still falling.
SoCal school districts are closed tomorrow: LA Unified, San Diego Unified, Districts in the desert, etc.
It is going to be a mess to clean up the roads!
So far there isn’t much to clean up in San Diego
So far it is a whole lot of nothing, in areas in this state which already are a whole lot of nothing.
Just like Hilary Clinton’s 2016 campaign – all hype, no traction.
But never let Gavin Newsom miss an opportunity to grab “emergency powers”. Just like Nancy Pelosi did on Jan 6.
5:45 PM winds finally picking up.
All good in my neck of the woods, Murrieta. Actually I am enjoying the break from the summer heat.
6:24PM. Escondido, CA (just north of San Diego). 1 1/2″ of rain, no winds other than an occasional flutter. There is a possibility of more to come, but so far this storm has been rather routine. Still have lights, TV.
East of Temecula, intersection of highways 371 & 79, 11:43pm: similar report, some tree limbs down, some minor flooding, feels like it’s all over.
Significant damage in wider SoCal region, it could have been far worse.
Thank you God, and thank you Sundance.
Looks like Biden’s border wall.
What is the news story?
It’s a roadway in Santa Clarita. I don’t think it’s Interstate 5 but IDK for certain.
But, we have this infrastructure bill. Let’s face it, very little infrastructure has been well maintained in our country for the last 4-5 decades. Nothing happens unless a main interstate bridge collapses.
