“Hurricane is rapidly weakening as it heads north into cooler waters, but climate alarmists are still hopeful of some loss of life.”

Yes, it is fizzling out... This is all fear porn to execute some more “conditioning”.

In the Palm Springs area a couple of inches of rain is all that is necessary to cause major flooding.

There is no good drainage soil like we have in New England.

Just heard they are planning on shutting off power whether it needs to be shut off or not. They are making a mountain out of a mole hill.

It happens every year, normal stuff.

That is true—the hysteria is way out of proportion to the actual threat—and the locals are used to flooding.

They had to have some kind of disaster in order to get disaster funds from Washington. The storm itself isn’t the issue, it’s getting access to disaster relief funds 2024 is an important election year for the left, and they need to reload the accounts of a lot of their funding sources’ bank accounts. You know, all those 501.c.3’s and 4’s who take in tax exempt contributions and government grants/aid and then forward on to deserving candidates and election enhancement (corruption) entities. Money laundering at its best.

“Watch for flash flooding” is the #1 most common sign in the southern Ca desert. :)

I’m going to crack up if all these folks evacuate and then return to find someone else living in their home.

It would be right in line with the planned wealth redistribution agenda. lol

Yup—we have traveled in the desert southwest and the hiking trails have a lot of “flood warning” signs in the washes.

Pretty sure it is the origin of the old saying “Don’t camp in a wash.”

Used to live there and I have seen washes run when the rain was 40 miles away. lol

I thought it was down graded to cat 2 storm, why all the panic, other than the weatherman and governor promote it?

Panic buying? Does that mean the freeloaders get to ravage Walgreens and Wally World more than they do now?

Residents in the south of the state have been given evacuation orders ahead of the historic storm making landfall around 1pm.

Looters move in 3...2...1...

Happens every time there are evacuations for wildfires - even though the government assures this this "won't happen" b/c "boots on the ground."

So Cal - not a hint of rain. I’ll believe it when/if I see it.

Absolutely right, all BS fear mongering.

Cat 1 and dropping fast. And it is still only half way up Baja. It is already forecasted to only be a tropical storm long before it hits Ca and down a tropical depression before it hits Nevada. It was BS hype from the get go. They are going to get some rain, but it will not be the catastrophic 80 year hurricane event they hyped it to be.
