Yep, a taste of #HurricaneHillary at SFO…

I would like to remind everyone that the plot of the movie #Sharknado involved the first ever #hurricane hitting california. #hurricanehillary

First try to BWI from SNA failed this morning due to a last-minute planned diversion to DEN (for refueling?!) that would make me miss my connection at ORD. Now on my way to LAX for a second try - will my red-eye flight be able to take off? Dun dun dun...

Tropical Storm Hilary: Amateur Radio Activates http://www.arrl.org/news/view/tropical-storm-hilary-amateur-radio-activates

#HamRadio #HurricaneHillary

Hey, #HurricaneHillary folks, how are things?

Worried about you, not hearing about anything too bad, yet.

Let us know how it's going.

#Hurricane #Hillary #Weather #WestCoast #CA #California #LosAngeles #SanDiego #Baja

#HurricaneHillary ? #LockHerUP !

South #California > Rainbands from #HurricaneHillary's remnants coming in.

First drip-drips of #HurricaneHillary have begun! Last major storm, my power went out for 38 hours, so please spare a thought for all the trees near my power lines!

(My power goes out so often in Weather—surely I’m running out of trees near said power lines?!)

Fourteen hours and #HurricaneHillary is hammering the biological reserves, midway up #BajaCalifornia

Re: Hurricane Hillary - it is an online camera system for California.

It is pretty impressive as far as those go. Sorry for going off topic but it is pretty scary that hurricane!

Having been through many hurricanes here in the NE US, one of them in a boat, I know they can be trouble.

Please everyone out west be careful of #hurricanehillary

With #HurricaneHillary approaching #Mexico and #California .. can't help but think of the chapter in #MinistryForTheFuture where #LA gets hit by an atmospheric river.. excerpt here from the book on #Nautilus website ☹️💦 #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #floods https://nautil.us/los-angeles-is-gone-237986/

If it's not too late, get a small pump and hose, in case of basement or house flooding. Bought one after groundwater rise was pushed to the max due to two successive tropical storms in 4 days. We don't have a sump pump, so I spent 48 hours lifting wet/dry vacs full of water to protect my furnace and hot water heater. You can get a small inverter generator to run the pump if your power goes out.
Store potable water. Assume power outages. Extra batteries. Gas up vehicles. Have a go bag or list in case you have to leave. Remember pets, meds, elderly neighbors. Be safe!

The Los Angeles Times has free-access coverage of #HurricaneHillary here:

and a storm tracker (updated from NOAA data), here:

Seems to me that the name of #HurricaneHillary should've probably been set-aside for a Florida hurricane headed towards Mar-A-Lago... 🤔

Tropical storm warning for where I live. I've never been through anything like this before. So I'm a wee bit anxious. Stay safe my fellow SoCal peeps! #hurricanehillary #tropicalstorm #sandiego #weather

8 hours later, #HurricaneHillary is now parallel the tip of Baja. She’s a big girl!

Over the years, I’ve looked at a lot of hurricanes using the wind tool on earth.nullschool

#HurricaneHillary is looking pretty hot at midnight, Saturday morning.

"Los Angeles Against the Mountains" is John McPhee's classic essay about debris flows, which you can read here.
