I’m about 100 miles from the quake’s epicenter. Sitting at my computer, I felt a gentle rolling motion and wondered if it was an earthquake. When I saw the window blinds swinging back and forth, I knew it was.
60 - 70 mph straight line winds aren’t unusual during spring thunderstorms around here. Generally not a big deal. It’s the hail that runs up the costs. First few times I went through those, I’d check to see if the board fence had blown over. Never did.
Ojai is 63 miles from Bakersfield where I live had a 7 sec warning on my phone, rain and ground shaking, fun in calif
These BS headlines...within the article is the winds by locations...Joshua tree expecting 80 which is the only location...everywhere else is much lower, although still strong...43MPH winds in San Diego is not unheard of. The Santa Anna winds blow that hard nearly every year.
Peak wind gusts could hit as high as 81 mph at Joshua Tree National Park and 67 mph in Wrightwood.
In Anaheim peak gusts could hit 62 mph, 60 mph in Irvine, 58 in Palm Springs and Ontario, 54 in Big Bear Lake, 52 in Riverside, 46 in San Clemente, 43 in San Diego and 41 in San Bernardino.
In Los Angeles County, possible peak wind gusts could be 44 mph in Santa Clarita and Lancaster, 40 in Northridge and Westlake Village, 35 in Avalon on Catalina Island, 32 in Pomona, 31 in Pasadena, 30 in Long Beach, 29 in downtown Los Angeles and 26 in Redondo Beach.
see my post below on winds
No.
FYI.
It’s not big. It’s in the mountains.
Mail loves sensationalism.
I’m in Orange County, CA..rain slow & steady all day, hardly any wind.
Every local news channel has their crews out on “storm watch”, covering a nothing burger.
Have to be a lot more potent than a 5.2 for that to have any chance of happening.
There no no 80 mph gusts.
The tropical storm winds are 60 mph and slowing all the time. It’s not a hurricane.
It’s raining. Not hard. No winds yet.
Snug as a bug in a rug.
You can tell the media disappointed not more destruction so can push more climate hysteria.
GREAT!!! Good to hear, thanks...
South Orange county, light rain and wind so far. Didn’t feel the earthquakes north of Los Angeles.
They don’t live anywhere close to where this storm will affect.
It might rain in Fresno.
Here’s a map.
“With “Hillary” there are no coincidences.”
Yep. Hillary bring destruction wherever she wanders.
I’m in LA and so far this whole apocalypse rain storm has been a dud it’s not raining here any worse than normal storms maybe it will get worse later but so far it’s been a huge overreaction typical of the commie media to do
Did you even feel the earthquake? I didn’t and I’m about 60 miles away.
But I got an alert on my phone to take cover etc…
They just try to spread fear.
Maybe harder rain and wind will hit later but it’s hardly a big deal.
