Your local government should provide sand, check their social media. Remove things from your yard. Go buy essentials. If you lose power keep your fridge closed as much as possible. Don't try to drive through flooded areas. Stay safe :3

Hold up, what's going on? Is there some kind of hurricane set to hit California?
Except by the time it gets here it will be downgraded to a Tropical Storm. Which is still very wet and windy, and extremely unusual for summer in SoCal. There's concern for mudslides in the burn areas. We did have a very rainy winter, so we've had a bit of recent practice at sandbagging, etc. Personally I made sure to close the ๐๏ธ over the table by the pool so it won't fly up and into a window or the pool.
Our real problem is, no Waffle Houses to check if they're open.
Yeah, hurricane Hilary is projected to hit California on Monday, August 21st 2023.
