Hilary: The Uninvited Guest
First off, let’s get one thing straight: Hurricane Hilary did not hit East LA. It was more like Hilary decided to send a really soggy postcard from afar. Think of it as that annoying relative who calls to say they’re “close” but never actually shows up.
Instead of palm trees swaying and waves crashing, East LA got a taste of what we like to call "California monsoon lite." It was more like a gentle rain shower than a full-blown ocean takeover. But hey, any excuse to break out the rain boots and that questionable poncho, right?
What East LA Actually Got
- Rain, Rain, Go Away: We traded our sunglasses for umbrellas and our bikinis for hoodies. It was like nature decided to give us a free car wash, but with less foam and more traffic.
- Windy Business: The trees had a little too much fun, and some leaves decided to take a permanent vacation from their branches. It was like a free leaf cleanup service, but with added stress for homeowners.
- Flood Watch Party: Let's just say the streets turned into impromptu rivers. We’re pretty sure some fish were spotted commuting to work via gutter.
So, Should You Invest in a Surfboard?
Unless you’re planning a trip to Hawaii, probably not. East LA is more likely to experience a taco truck shortage than a tidal wave. But hey, dreaming of riding a wave down Hollywood Boulevard is always fun, right?
How To... Weather the Storm (Kinda)
- How to prepare for a hurricane in East LA: Stock up on tacos, your favorite Netflix show, and maybe a poncho for good measure.
