I hope all of you out there on the West Coast stay safe. I live on the NC coast and am well acquainted with hurricanes. Even if the storm is a low wind event, there can still be significant damage from rain and even tornadoes embedded in the hurricane. 2018 Hurricane Florence flooded my house. 2019 Hurricane Dorian's tornadoes ripped through my neighborhood and tore out all my big oak and pine trees. It looked like a war zone. Insurance doesn't cover loss of landscaping. For instance, if a large tree falls in your yard but doesn't hit your house, too bad, but it still needs to be cleaned up. If the tree lands on your house , different story. If the eye of the storm passes over you, don't go out. The storm will return but from a different direction. Everyone take care, even a tropical storm is dangerous.

Fortunately the forecast says conditions are "unfavorable for tornados" - rain expected to start falling in San Diego tonight.

Even the large church where I usher(All Saints-Pasadena) has advised parishioners to stay home tomorrow and live stream the service. That’s really being cautious!
