Hurricane Hilary - SoCal Takes a Rare Hit

[jayvis]

Well maybe CA`s. weather remains more stable than FLs. does, because here it can and does change frequently over the course of the day, or even hrs. !
Summer time Thunder storms often develop suddenly over an area that is mostly clear sky and sunny, with the drop in the area`s temperature over 15 degrees in a few minutes time.
A old statement used around FL. by long time Floridians concerning the WX: Is if you don`t like the weather right now ? well just wait a few minutes or so and it will change, but not often for the desired better !

Same as here in the Midwest. We can typically see temperature changes of 80 degrees within 24 hours. Usually warm to cold.

Cold fronts can do that here too, just usually not 80 degrees spread temperature differential, probably due to the Atlantic coast ~20 miles to the East of me, plus the North flowing very wide St. Johns river ~1000 ft. across the street from my house holding the temperature from a greater extreme change.

2PM Sunday: Finally, a good downpour for about 20-minutes. Maybe half an inch of rain, but the wind is barely noticeable.

Yep. Same here.

We just had an earthquake hit SoCal. Anyone feel it?
EDIT: Actually had 5 notifications according to the USGS, all near Ojai, CA with the largest one at 5.1.

Didn't feel a thing down where I am in San Diego.

Yes, just south of downtown off South Palm Canyon.

Nothin' here - too far away, I guess.

 

[Erik Tracy]

We're getting a good soaking rain now - but no wind - fine by me.

 

[eiraved]

Same here, lots o' water plus a little shakin' goin' on.

Friends in Santa Barbara and Ventura wrote to say they felt it, and @ the community-based website West Mesa Neighbors (small segment w/in Santa Barbara), many threads are going on this topic.

PS: The name of this hurricane is just effin' CRYING OUT TO BE MEMEd.

If HC had acted more like a hurricane, BC wouldn't have needed ML.

4" of rain
(more like 3.9" on my cheap plastic garden gauge; but close enough to 4" to count it).

She was loud and blew hard, but ultimately failed to deliver.

Looks like the rain is over, storm total for my area was 2.19" - that's a good soaking. Did finally get some wind 6-9pm, but nothing worrisome.

And the sun is supposed to pop out later this afternoon.

She arrived, he died, and still she failed.

And, they're giving schools a Rain Day day off, today, the day after the storm.
