The Great Hilary Escape: How Far Did She Really Get?
Ah, Hurricane Hilary. Remember that wild summer fling we almost had? The one with the churning seas, the dramatic news reports, and everyone scrambling for surfboards (or, more realistically, emergency supplies)?
Well, buckle up, because we're about to revisit this near-miss and answer the burning question: just how close did Hilary get to San Diego, anyway?
How Far Away Is Hilary From San Diego |
Dodging a Bullet (or a Hurricane)
The good news, my friends, is that Hilary chickened out before things got too serious. Thanks to some cool ocean temperatures (not Hilary's type, apparently) and some fancy atmospheric shenanigans (let's just call it celestial intervention), our hurricane friend fizzled out into a tropical storm before reaching San Diego.
Tip: Read aloud to improve understanding.
But how close was a near miss? We're talking around 215 miles south-southeast of San Diego. That's roughly the distance between your grandma's house and the promise of free cookies you use to get you there (worth the trip, every time).
So, while Hilary might have caused a stir (and rightfully so, hurricanes are no laughing matter), she never got close enough to disrupt our precious weekend brunch plans.
Tip: Use this post as a starting point for exploration.
Signs Hilary Wasn't Feeling San Diego
Here are some tell-tale signs Hilary wasn't feeling the San Diego vibe:
- The Cold Shoulder: The Pacific Ocean just wasn't warm enough for her tropical tastes. Brrr... guess San Diego's chill wasn't what Hilary was looking for.
- The Windy City (Not San Diego): Upper-level winds were like, "Nope, not today, Hilary," and steered her away from our shores. Rude, wind, rude.
- Commitment Issues: Maybe Hilary realized San Diego wasn't ready for that kind of a committed relationship (hurricanes are a lot to handle).
Whatever the reason, we dodged a bullet (or a hurricane).
Tip: Don’t just glance — focus.
