A storm headed in the direction of Southern California became a hurricane and later strengthened to a Category 2 on Thursday, the National Hurricane Center said in a public advisory. It is expected to bring heavy rainfall to parts of the state after hitting Mexico.
The “hilarious” jokes about this on conservative forums right now must be plentiful. And painful.
At least it’s a break from attack helicopter gender jokes. I guess?
someone’s gonna be digging out that sharpie and rerouting the storm through flordia, and up the east coast through georgia, dc, and new york.
As a Californian, this could be a welcome respite in the middle of fire season if it dumps enough rain.
That being said, it’s not good. Rainfall this late is going to throw harvest all out of whack, particularly in wine country. I’m guessing there’s going to be a lot of Central Coast sweet wine on the market after this season -Botrytis cinerea thrives on a wet fall harvest. In 2017 (similar rainfall conditions) it was even found growing on Cabernet grapes, which are usually much more resistant to it than the white varietals.

Its just going to rain a lot…might be good as we havent had rain for a while…
This might make for a great spring in the Anza borrego. Might even be worth a trip.
