From the above: ...the plume of moisture will cause catastrophic flooding this weekend in southern CA...I remember many people celebrating SD ocean temps hitting 80 degrees back in the summer of '18. I'm guessing those same folks won't be celebrating if/when their homes are flooded. It’s 72 right now and glorious. |

Nice of you Jeff to be concerned about others. You may be new to the area. These storms generally show up several times in the summer and fall, here an in the Imperial Valley. Nothing new to folk that have been here for 10 or more years. Don't think I can recall any serious damage to people, or property. The ones in the winter are more troubling because they're over the major populated areas and do cause damage, particularly with mudslides. I was born in La Mesa in 1963 & I've lived in San Diego on & off for over 30 years... so I'm very familiar with the area. This type of storm is extremely unusual for Southern California. The last time San Diego was hit by a hurricane was back in 1858. Last time it was hit by a tropical storm was 1939... so it's been quite a while. |

And I was born in 1960 and, save for a brief time away at school, I've lived here all my life. What I know is, regardless of whether this is a rare occurrence, rain in the summer is a welcome event. And we still haven't yet been hit by a tropical storm this year. I'm thinking this will probably not meet "expectations" as many previous forecasts have turned out. |

But if not, it could be deadly. Here’s the toll in L.A. and Orange County from the 1939 storm (from the L.A. Times): “Four days after its fury had subsided, Southern California’s tragic week-end coastal storm yesterday had exacted a toll of 18 persons known to be dead, 30 known to be missing, and approximately 25 others aboard boats still unreported by the United States Coast Guard,” The Times reported. “Eight summer homes at Sunset Beach were battered and dragged into the sea by mountainous waves.” |

Pretty sure the mountains will end up alright as well. Might want to stay out of Mission Valley and Mission Beach, though. Oh, if you are trying to cross through deep moving water, you are not a "storm death," you are a Darwin Award winner. |

The place in San Diego I always worry about during heavy storms is the Mt Soledad Rd area along Rose Canyon. That neighborhood was built on a limestone hill, very prone to land slippage.

Anyone here old enough recall Hurricane Doreen in August of 1977? Dropped over 2 inches here in San Diego. 10 inches in Jacumba in just a few hours..blew out the I-8 at Ocotillo. |

I am more concerned about what is going to happen with SDSU in this whole conference realignment saga. I think San Diego will be fine with this tropical storm Hillary situation. I will be surprised if it is anything close to a hurricane by the time it passes through our region and the majority of it will be well east of us, and the infrastructure around Mission Valley should be far better than it was in the past. Snapdragon will be all good for the following weekend.

Just think if Qualcomm and the big impermeable surface had to deal with this? It couldn't handle a moderate rainstorm. I am interested to see what takes place with a forecasted more significant event.

I'll be thinking of you folks. I was in Tropical Storm Francis for about four days back in 1998. It was really something.
