Tropical Update

 It seems that Hurricane Hillary is set to make landfall in Mexico as a hurricane, then slip into California as a tropical storm.  According to Ryan Hall, this hasn't happened since 1937,


I have friends in Nevada who are firmly in the wind cone.  When it gets to them, it won't me much, but they've never seen anything like this. They have never prepped for a tropical storm.

while it is unusual, it is not unheard of for a hurricane to hit southern California. NOAA has a pretty good visual of all the storms here: https://coast.noaa.gov/hurricanes/#map=4.5/37.49/-119.36&search=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

That's a horrible URL but if you go here: https://coast.noaa.gov/hurricanes/#map=4/32/-80 and put in California it gets you to the same place.
