2023 Atlantic Hurricane Season Running Thread

Mudslides have to be a major concern with that much rain in an arid landscape, right?

 

It's like the 1942 Rose Bowl in reverse.

 

that was my thought

 

The good news is there's still lots of reservoir space, even despite the amazing snowpack this last winter. This storm will cause havoc, but it should be a net positive as long as it makes landfall south of the border and stays east of the SoCal coast.

 

Yes. There will be areas, especially in the mountains, where you’ll see some bad ones. In other areas, the water won’t be able to soak up or go to a creek or river and will cause flash flooding. I wouldn’t go driving in those areas Sunday.

 

For the same reasons, I'd avoid driving in the desert as well. Some roads get bad enough during monsoon season, can't imagine what Holary will do to them.

 

This was the other end of I-40 when Florence came through in 2018.

 

LOL! It never swallows, does it? Anyway, thanks for posting. Made my morning.

 

So TS Hilary is tracking right over my new house in about 10 hours. Literally.
You east coasters got any advice?

 

Stay indoors and if you get TV from a dish or internet connection, have an antenna as a backup. Most of the time the biggest threat is boredom.

 

Yeah, TS is no big deal. Even if it was a Cat 1 it wouldn't require anything more than making sure your windows are closed tightly, your gas tank is full, and you are stocked up on beer and pork rinds.
