Hilary: The Uninvited Houseguest
Let’s be honest, no one invited Hilary to the California party. We were all expecting sunshine, palm trees, and endless avocado toast. But nope, here comes Hilary, ready to crash the party with a side order of torrential rain and high winds. It’s like when your annoying cousin shows up unannounced and expects you to feed them for a week.
Will Hilary Actually Hit LA?
The million-dollar question, right? Well, the short answer is: we don’t know for sure. Meteorologists are like fortune tellers with fancy equipment, and even they're scratching their heads. One minute they’re saying it’s a direct hit, the next it’s a near miss. It’s like playing weather roulette.
But let’s be real, even if Hilary decides to give LA a wide berth, we’re still gonna get some leftovers. Think scattered showers, gusty winds, and maybe even a rogue wave or two. It’s like when you order a pizza and they forget to put on the extra cheese, but you still eat it anyway because you’re hungry.
So, What Should You Do?
- Don't Panic: Okay, maybe a little panic is allowed, but try to stay calm. Panic buying toilet paper is not going to save you from a hurricane.
- Prepare: Stock up on essentials like water, non-perishable food, and batteries. And don’t forget your surfboard, just in case LA turns into a surfing mecca.
- Stay Informed: Keep an eye on weather updates. And follow your local news for evacuation orders and other important information.
