It never rains in Southern California...

"It pours, man, it pours!" To quote the title of the Albert Hammond song.

Tropical Storm Hilary and now a magnitude 5 earthquake.

Hurricane Hilary has now weakened into a tropical storm, according to forecasters, but officials warn that the weather pattern is bringing dangerous conditions to coastal Mexico and the US Southwest.

The remnants of the hurricane made landfall on Sunday in a sparsely populated area about 150 miles norther of Ensenada, Mexico, according to forecasters.

As California began experiencing the worst of the storm on Sunday afternoon, a magnitude 5.1 earthquake struck in Ventura County.

Even before the centre of the storm began passing over land, Mexico’s Baja peninsula was inundated, with flood waters washing layers of earth over towns like Santa Rosalía.

The storm is expected to dissipate on Monday.

at one point we were forecast to have rain, but then they decided it wasn't going to come close. We had an overcast day yesterday, and supposedly the same again today, and that's it. Heading down to SoCal at the end of the week, so glad it decided to come through this weekend. Having said that, the storm warnings didn't extend as far west as Santa Barbara.

Walking the one mile home from dropping D#2's car off at the garage to diagnose electrical short the sidewalk was spotted by raindrops.
I think only one hit me. #:-S
