Both SDGE and Cox keep warning us about potential loss of service so we are expecting power failures. Otherwise we’re as battened as we can be a mile from the coast. Rainfalls are predicted in the 2-4” range where we are so hopefully the pool won’t even overflow. And palm trees were recently trimmed so no big dead branches.
It’s still calm before the storm; it should hit at about the insomniacs timeframe.
(My phone thought the sky was much redder than it actually was.)
I am east of Las Vegas. It is raining now, heavy for the region. But I am guessing this is not due to the hurricane?
No, that is from the outer bands of Hilary, I think.
We are also expecting 2-4 inches, likely very windy as well. Stay safe all!
Now down to Category 1.
Yeah, I think the red circle is me.
Weather Channel calls for squalls tomorrow. I had to google what that meant. 
Tropical storm. Just rain, steady but not untoward. No particular wind to speak of.
One poster on NextDoor (very nice guy; local handyman) says that at the current speed, the eye should be over San Diego about 7 pm. Unless it doesn’t have a Sentri pass, in which case it could get delayed four hours at the border

We just returned yesterday afternoon from husband’s firm retreat in La Jolla. It was scheduled to last from Thursday afternoon until this (Sunday) morning. We drove over from Phoenix on Thursday. At Friday night’s dinner all anyone could talk about was the incoming storm. The people who had flown over were all scrambling to reschedule their Sunday afternoon flights to leave earlier. We decided to pack up and leave Saturday morning. It wasn’t so much the rain the alarmed me. I didn’t want us to be driving in Interstate 8 in high winds. Glad we made that choice.
Really interesting to watch the Hotel Del camera. I’m surprised they didn’t stack their lounge chairs and put them inside.
Steady rain here is northern L.A. county. We’re told we could have gusts up to 70mph tonight. We’ll see what materializes and which way the eye travels. I’ve seen some crazy footage of winds and flash flooding in southern Baja. I have family south of the border and I’m concerned because most of their residential streets aren’t paved and there’s no drainage.
We’re in OC, so far “only” rain. I’m ok with rain.
Rain is getting a bit heavier now where I am a couple of miles from La Jolla. Not much wind yet. Hope everyone stays safe.
I’m surprised how many people are walking along the water line at the beach in the Hotel Del webcam. LA County webcams show the police and fire driving along the sand shooing people off of the beach.
If you watch the daily timelapse from yesterday, you can see them put all the chairs out then take them all away later. Great sunset too! Hotel Del Live Web Cam | San Diego's Favorite Beach Camera
To add to the fun, we just had an earthquake 
Anyone near Ojai? Says it was a 5.5. That’s big enough to cause damage.
That was wild. It felt BIG.
You are closer to it than I am. Supposedly there have been several aftershocks. Did you feel those as well?
In San Gabriel valley. Didn’t feel anything, but got the alert on a phone .
Any out-of-state freshman moving in this weekend are getting an interesting greeting.
