    Hurricane Hilary is headed for southern California. By the time it hits Los Angeles, it may be only a tropical storm. Last time they got slammed was 1939, a good long time ago. Thus, maybe only a handful of people remember it. L.A. was MUCH smaller then. That last storm only killed 100 people.

    Due to all of the new pavement & buildings -- i.e. no soil to soak-up the H2O -- there's gonna be water run-off never seen there before.

    Power outages are guaranteed.

    This El Nino present from Mother Nature could be terrible or it could dissipate or it could turn out to sea. Who knows.

    So, what do you think? How bad will L.A. get hit? How many will die due to weather and/or power outages?

    Me, I'm not voting. Just looking to see how others rate the danger of this most current tropical storm.

    " 'Towns Could Get Cut Off': Hurricane Hilary Threatening 'Catastrophic' Flooding Across California"

    https://www.zerohedge.com/weather/t...ening-catastrophic-flooding-across-california

    "As Hurricane Hilary churns 235 miles south of the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula, moving northwest at 16 mph, the National Hurricane Center warned of 'catastrophic and life-threatening flooding' across the Southwestern United States.

    " 'Heavy rainfall in association with Hilary is expected across the Southwestern United States, peaking on Sunday,' NHC wrote in an advisory, forecasting total rainfall amounts between 3 to 6 inches, with some areas expected to receive as much as 10 inches of rain. Those areas are portions of Southern California and Southern Nevada.

    "On Saturday morning, Hilary weakened from a very dangerous Category 4 with winds of 130 mph to Category 3 status, with maximum sustained winds of 125 mph. "

    See, thing is that the winter snows melted ... and oopsie, the masses of snow that had fallen ware record-setting. The melt not only filled empty reservoirs and ground water-tables, it flooded some agricultural fields (enormous ones / square miles). Now with Hilary coming to visit, where is the water going to go? There isn't anywhere.

    If you are living in low-lying areas of California, then get out your scuba gear.

    Also, Southern California got a 5.1 earthquake as the tropical storm was coming in. Bad Karma to the max. Sodom and Gomorrah thingies. I guess L.A. is Gomorrah and San Francisco is Sodom. Actually what's happening now isn't that bad. When 10 million people die in a month's time, that will be more on the order of a Biblical scale.

    Here's some more images from Southern California that Hilary the Hurricane brought with her (couldn't get them all to fit into above post):

    The next is a GIF. It plays slowly. Spoiler: The edge of the road falls off. Ouchy!

    "VIDEO: Dodgers Stadium Becomes an Island After Storm Floods Los Angeles"

    https://www.breitbart.com/sports/20...ecomes-island-after-storm-floods-los-angeles/

    "The video shows the sixty-year-old stadium surrounded by flood waters as the first tropical storm to hit California in 84 years was bearing down on the area.

    "Now, in what some on social media are referring to as a “Biblical flood,” the fast-rising waters shocked and frightened Los Angelenos as thousands were trapped in cars, up in trees, and in buildings as the water rose, bringing along with it, mudslides, downed power lines, and washed-out bridges.

    "The storm waters also filled the L.A. River for the first time in decades.

    I ended-up voting ... after the fact.

    This looks like the verdict:

    Bad hit, some power outages and flooding, few lives lost, but property damage significant.

    California mudslides & landslides from Hilary floodin:

    Biden Stares At Crowd With Mouth Hanging Open, Has To Be Assisted Off Stage In Maui (Video)

    https://rare.us/rare-politics/biden...n-has-to-be-assisted-off-stage-in-maui-video/

    President Joe Biden appeared in Maui, Hawaii today in order to deliver remarks following the deadly wildfires that have resulted in up to 1,000 deaths. Up to one in four children in Maui schools are currently missing.

    When Biden finally did make it to Maui today, his speech was abysmal. Biden spoke gibberish throughout the speech, mumbling under his breath, slurring his words, and even inventing new words. Biden, in an attempt to say ‘tragedy’, invented a new word… ‘travedy’. See a clip of that moment below…

    As Biden wrapped up his remarks, he stood, staring at the crowd with his mouth hanging open. Those around him grabbed ahold of him, asking if he needed water, then shuffling the President away from the podium. What is wrong with Biden? See a clip of that moment below…

    time Biden was taken out of office and moved to the care home.
    and he's going to run again next year? will he even know where he is and why?
    I thought UK politicians were bad enough but Biden is a joke.
