Hurricane Hilary: Is LA Gonna Get Wrecked?
So, Hurricane Hilary decided to pay Southern California a visit. You know, just a casual drop-in, like that time your weird aunt showed up unannounced. Only this time, instead of bringing a fruitcake, she’s packing some serious wind and rain.
Hilary’s Hollywood Debut
Let's talk distance, shall we? How far is this stormy diva from the City of Angels? Well, it's like asking how far is a Kardashian from controversy – it's close enough to be a major drama. Hilary made landfall in Mexico and then decided to take a scenic route through California, bringing along a flood party and mudslide disco.
Is LA Safe?
The short answer is: probably. But let's be real, when Mother Nature is throwing a tantrum, nobody's really safe. Sure, LA is used to drama, but this is a whole new level of Hollywood blockbuster. So, while the city might not get completely wiped out, expect some traffic chaos, power outages, and maybe a few celebrity sightings (because, you know, they have to escape the storm too).
Hilary’s Hit List
While we’re on the topic, let's give a shoutout to Hilary's greatest hits:
- Epic Rainfall: Enough to make Noah build another ark.
- Mudslides: Because sliding down a hill of mud is everyone's dream, right?
- Flash Floods: Surprise! Your car is now a submarine.
