Google beachcam hotel del for the cam at Hotel Del Coronado close to San Diego. They are live streaming. Sort of cloudy right now. The camera pans and stops every 20 seconds or so for a good view between west and north. Does Bitog have anyone on the ground in San Diego?
NoNot sure if this storm is influenced by rising ocean temps but if it is, mandatory reductions in cargo ship sulfur emissions are to blame.
Ironically, the sulfur oxides or whatever of aerosols these ships emit at massive levels (due to burning bunker oil fuel) deposited so many particulates into the atmosphere over the oceans, that it reflected enough sunlight to keep the ocean slightly cooler.
Those particulates are gone now, and the oceans have heated up. Weirdly, Atlantic hurricanes have not increased though.
Cleaner shipping emissions may have warmed the planet – but only a bit
The shipping industry has significantly reduced its sulphur emissions since 2020, and in doing so has inadvertently contributed slightly to global warmingwww.newscientist.com
Good luck. So many times the weather folks get fooled at the last minute by changes. Happens to us all the time in the deep south. Its hard to imagine that can still happen even these days when we are supposed to have the most modern-sophisticated newest tracking systems. Which I am sure we do, yet mother nature still pulls tricks on us at times. Hope all you west coast folks get some needed h20 just not a years worth in 24 hrs or so.
Good question. Here is the expected flood zones and a map of the basin. There is some overlap but the storm would have to shift east to rain hard in the basin. There is not much rain predicted in the upper Colorado Basin.
It rained and thundered off and on last night. They are saying that is the advance front of the hurricane. We have the same forecast for the next few days. So far it is entertaining. Hopefully, it stays that way. It will be nice to see the ocotillos leaf out.
You are almost in the epicenter. Costco has some nice generators and I have thought of buying one. We usually have lots of everything on hand, so we don't need to panic buy. We are planning on stopping at the Victorville Costco on the 29th. Hopefully, they will have things cleaned up by then.
It's still early. It's terrible humid here right now. I spent about an hour moving things in my yard that could blow into my house,break a window etc. Wife has picnic tables, swinging porch chairs etc. I moved all that into my garage. Got 3 working generators that I test ran. Gonna go get fresh gas a little later.
