Hilary: The Storm That Wasn't (Really)
So, let's talk about Hilary. Not the email-loving politician, but the tropical storm that had everyone in California freaking out more than a Kardashian at a K-Mart. It was like the universe decided to give California a good old-fashioned scare, just to keep things interesting.
Hilary: The Great California Water Fight
Now, I know what you're thinking. "Hilary made landfall in California, right?" Wrong-o, my friend. Hilary was more like a really enthusiastic beachgoer who got their toes wet but never actually took a dip. She (or it, I guess) made landfall in Mexico, had a grand old time splashing around, and then decided California was too crowded and went home.
But let’s be real, California loved the drama. It was like a soap opera with rain instead of tears. Everyone was glued to their phones, refreshing weather updates faster than you can say "surf's up." We had memes about sandbags, jokes about Noah's Ark, and even a few people who started building their own arks (just kidding, or are they?).
Hilary: The Rainmaker (Kind Of)
While Hilary didn't technically make landfall in California, she did send some of her rain-loving friends our way. It was like a really wet house party where you invited some people you didn't really know, but they brought the good snacks (rain). And let's be honest, California needed a good soak. Our lawns were looking more like deserts than green carpets.
So, did Hilary save California from a drought? Probably not. But did she give us a good scare and a much-needed excuse to buy rain boots? Absolutely.
