Some parts of Southern California might just get a whole year’s worth of rain in one go. Yeah, you heard that right.
Mother Nature’s throwing a party, and it’s time to RSVP. Governor Newsom’s on it – he’s teaming up with the feds and local governments to make sure everyone’s ready for the extravaganza. Listen up, folks: heed those local authority warnings and get yourselves ready for this wild ride.

Hold onto your hats, because Governor Gavin Newsom’s put the State Operations Center at the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) into action. Rain, wind, potential flash floods, and power outages – they’re watching it all like hawks. They’ve got your back, California!
We’re not alone in this fight. The states teaming up with local heroes and prepping resources like swift water rescue teams and California National Guard troops. Even our unhoused friends are getting extra care. Plus, the highways are in safe hands, thanks to 24-hour highway maintenance crews. Safety first, folks!
Now, let’s break it down. Here’s your storm survival guide – the top 5 things you need to do to stay in the clear:
- Stay Connected: Dial 3-1-1 for help or questions. In a real emergency, it’s 911. Stay informed with alerts from CalAlerts.org. And don’t forget to check on your people!
- Prepare for the Wind and Waves: Tame the wild winds by trimming those trees and securing loose stuff. During the wind show, hunker down, stay away from windows, and watch out for flying debris. Oh, and stay out of the ocean – it’s not the time for a dip!
- Travel Wisely: Skip non-essential travel during the storm’s peak. If you absolutely must drive, QuickMap’s your new best friend. And remember, don’t take a dip in flood waters – you’re not a fish!
- Power Outage Ready: Stock up on what you need, charge those gadgets, and have backup power plans. Flashlights for everyone! And don’t forget, water might decide to take a break too.
- Listen Up: Local authorities are your guides. Follow those orders, respect road closures, and take heed of the official announcements. Safety’s the name of the game.
So there you have it, California. Hurricane Hilary’s knocking on our door, and we’re not backing down. The state’s got your back, but you’ve got a role to play too. Stay safe, stay strong, and ride out the storm like the champs you are!
