Rare, historic.
Could bring flooding rains as far as Las Vegas and beyond.
Important to recognize that we are now in an era when storms that are not major hurricanes are causing major hurricane damage, owing to the amount of moisture they can bring, and in this case, to areas that normally do no see this kind of event.

2-3 YEARS of precipitation in 2-3 days? Having lived in Las Vegas, I hope they move the homeless out of those drainage canals built beneath the city. The water has nowhere else to go.
Crikey!
There are probably a lot of homeless there sheltering from the blazing heat.
Drowning in those canals has been a historical problem. I’m sure they’ll do everything they can to get the homeless out of there, but I worry if it will be enough. As we saw in Lahaina, there’s a tendency to wish away a Crisis until the Crisis is upon you.
‘Rare and Historic L.A.-hitting Hurricane’?
Am I the only person who saw Sharknado?
I know they like saying a hurricane will hit LA, but it will be cooled and sheared on its way north and likely be “just” a tropical storm, and that will be more than bad enough.
They’re not ready for this in the desert, and anybody in the foothills better get the hell out of Dodge.
