Tracking Hurricane 'Hilary'

[Wing]

Wanted to make this post for all those effected in California and storm watchers.
As the first official hurricane this year in the US, it looks like we have a couple members here that may be effected by the storm. Ski Flyspud S shadow and is there anyone else in Southern California?

Our family will keep you guys in our prayers this weekend, and will be posted updates here for those that are interested in storm tracking. Stay safe out there fellas.

Current update is showing the largest concern for Los Angeles, San Diego areas is extreme rain fall. Infrastructure in that region is not setup to support this amount of rain from what I have read.

I Spoke with Ski moments ago, all is well in his area! Thankfully the storm lost a lot of strength as is approached land. Ski said it was a bad storm and rained a lot, but nothing like the potential it had.
