yes, saw that. Turns out to be mostly a benign storm, although unusual for August. The daily rain totals for some areas are way out of average. It is a bit embarrassing to see the overreaction by shoppers and social media posts..when compared to Maui. Now that is depressing. 1,000 still missing?? It will turn out to be the worst fire in US history. Maui is a once in a lifetime event. worse than our Cedar fire that caused Catastrophic damage. The amount of water being dropped in this area is no joke. we wont know the full extent of damage until this storm passes, but i suspected there much in the way of inconspicuous damage that wont be as obvious. for me, ive seen harder rain falls in San Diego, windier and louder. but the stats dont lie here, it NEVER rains in August here, this is a lot of rain in a very wide spread area, i suspect our friends in East County/Riverside county dont think this is embarrassing at all. Stovepipe Wells (DV) did get just about their yearly total one day. |

Stovepipe Wells (DV) did get just about their yearly total one day. Palm Springs has received over half of their annual rainfall in lass than 24 hours. The Coachella valley survived. Our friend pool was about 1/4" from overflowing. The rest of the valley had very little flooding and the washes weren't even close to near max capacity. |

So far in San Carlos, about 1.8" rain and a max wind gust of 19.5 mph. I will rebuild.

I live in La Mesa (on Mt. Helix specifically) and we didn’t get much here at all. Was a very light sprinkle most of the day

For San Diego, Hilary was the biggest single day storm total in the last 5 1/2 years, dating back to February of 2017. Areas north and west of SD and Riverside got it worse, like usual. We have, over the last century, been very lucky here in SD when it comes to weather events/emergencies, minus Fire Season. Some day that lucky streak will break, which is why I always heed the NWS and other emergency warnings. Bias has a strong natural influence on everyone. A lot of times people are 'pretty sure' about things they are factually wrong about, because of how their own experiences have shaped them. Was this storm like any other any of us have experienced in our lives here in SD regardless of age? No, but many FEEL like it was. And that feeling is hard to overcome with facts and evidence. I'm still trying to confirm but it's possible that many, if not all, of these readings will set all-time records for rain fall for any single day in August since they began keeping records. fox5sandiego.com/weather/hilary/a-quick-look-at-rainfall-totals-from-hilaryGeneral Location Precipitation total (inches) Coastal Areas Carlsbad 2.50 Oceanside 2.20 San Marcos 2.66 Kearny Mesa 2.14 National City 2.29 Montgomery Field 2.16 Mission Valley 2.22 Vista 2.12 San Diego International Airport 1.82 Chula Vista 1.43 Valley Areas Mt.

Yeah, I'll always try to play it safe with weather events like this, even though they often fizzle and aren't as bad as predicted.
I still remember the big storm of 1978 (or was it 1977?) - it was crazy. Really strong winds and a ton of rain. The roof was torn off of the Foster's Freeze in Escondido (among other damage). That made quite an impression on me.
So I know that those things can happen, and when it's predicted that it is probable to happen I take those predictions seriously and act accordingly.

Would label Hilary the Padres storm of 2023 - more hype than punch.
