Does anyone know about the LA Equestrian Center in Brentwood? A lot of horses were taken there, thought they would be safe. They probably all need to be moved. It is a beautiful facility.

The most likely impact from Tropical Storm #Hilary will be rain. The forecast keeps high rain chances between Sunday and Monday night. Rain amounts are less certain due to the exact track and timing. #CAwx #LARain

Probably best complete "ring of fire" look to a 7 day QPF forecast I have ever seen!

Kelowna is on fire.

[Ben Noll @BenNollWeather]

There is limited historical precedent for Hurricane Hilary's expected impact in Southern California, but...

Back in August 1977, a Hurricane named Doreen had a similar amount of atmospheric moisture as Hilary - the best historical "analog" in the month of August on record.

Doreen caused:
-Loss of life (children swept away in Los Angeles River)
-Over $100 million worth of damage in 2023-equivalent dollars
-Major agricultural losses in San Diego and Imperial County

Since 1977, Los Angeles' population has grown by 37% and San Diego's has more than doubled.

Hilary is expected to dump more rain than Doreen.

Doreen peaked at category 1; Hilary is a category 4.

If you live in Southern California, Hilary won't be a storm you soon forget.

[Ben Noll @BenNollWeather]

Water is going to be the biggest problem with Hilary.

Atmospheric moisture will exceed record levels in Southern California.

The flooding will be devastating - landslides washing away homes, rivers & streams turning into torrents, and significant risks to life and property 🚨

[Michael Lowry @MichaelRLowry]

David has been forecasting this stuff for decades with the National Weather Service and is one of the best in the business. His allusion to rainfall totals from Harvey and Florence shouldn't be taken lightly. #Hilary #cawx #nvwx

[Juliette Kayyem @juliettekayyem]

PAY ATTENTION. I wait to talk to people I trust about how to interpret an event like Tropical Storm #Hilary . So .... reliable folks are now sounding alarms. There is simply nowhere for the water to go. Severe flooding in Vegas? Rain in Death Valley? "Impacts are unknown." 1/

Breathtaking view of Major Hurricane #Hilary as it approaches the Baja California Peninsula today

Wildfires continue to rage in southern British Columbia tonight where a provincial state of emergency has been declared. At least 15,000 people under evacuation orders.
