The Burning Question: When Does Doomsday (or at Least Wind and Rain) Arrive in San Diego?
Ah, San Diego. Land of sunshine, beaches, and... never-ending curiosity about the weather. Especially when there's a storm on the horizon – or, more accurately, aiming its eye right at your flip flops. So, let's cut to the chase: nobody's expecting a hurricane Hilary repeat this year (thank goodness).
But hey, that doesn't mean we can't reminisce about that wild weekend in August 2023, does it? Remember the scramble for bread and milk? The existential dread of choosing between Netflix and board games during the power outage? Those were the days...

Hurricane Hilary: A Blast from the Tropical Past (and a Cautionary Tale)
For those who mercifully missed it, Hurricane Hilary was like that crazy aunt at Thanksgiving dinner – loud, unexpected, and bringing enough rain to fill the Grand Canyon (almost).
Tip: Read mindfully — avoid distractions.
The eye of the storm rolled through San Diego sometime between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. on a glorious Sunday. Surfers may have been disappointed, but everyone else was too busy battening down the hatches (or, you know, tweeting about it).
The good news? San Diego survived (and beaches reopened, because priorities). The bad news? We all learned a valuable lesson about the power of Mother Nature and the importance of having a good stockpile of emergency gummy bears.
Tip: A slow, careful read can save re-reading later.
Frequently Asked Questions (Because We Know You're Curious)
How to prepare for a future storm? Stock up on essentials (food, water, and yes, gummy bears) but don't forget the fun stuff – board games, books, and maybe even a deck of cards (because who knows when the internet will go out again?).
